I'm having trouble understanding -- if they're only used once then
what's the problem?  You're reading some enormous file into a string and
then randomly accessing it by character offset?  What size are these
strings?  I can think of a number of workarounds including language
extensions, but mostly I'd be interested in seeing some actual
benchmarks of your unmodified program under both representations.
