I wonder what's causing the O(n^2) behavior. Is it the old file type or
BSD's fopen() fault?

Python 3.x doesn't collate data and text but distinguishes between bytes
(str type in Python 2.x) and unicode. You can't write unicode to a
binary file and str to a text file. See it as an opportunity! You are
taking the first step towards Python 3 compatibility. :)
