Great, thanks!
It's never a good idea to read single bytes if you don't know wether or
not the byte stream is buffered or not (BFile is not, for example, but
maybe it is in Zeta).
In any case, Dano needs a bit more 1 usec per Syscall on my machine -
that means that by reading 1MB 1 byte after the other, you already
waste more than 1 second doing syscalls alone. And that will even be a
lot slower in emulation.

In the long run, seeking is mandatory, though. But it's a good start :-
