My version reads the entire file into RAM in one I/O.  You could
modify it to read one line of a file at it a time. For the code to do
that talk to http://mindprod.com/applet/fileio.html 

By making whacking huge buffers, you can ensure the bottleneck is the
CPU.  I use a big switch statement.  For extra speed you could use an
array lookup of the replacement string for each char.  The
compiler/JVM  is not all that clever about generating code for switch
statements.

Refactor early. If you procrastinate, you will have
even more code to adjust based on the faulty design.
