This is probably brought about by the new Unicode I/O support in 6.12. Your
file isn't open in binary mode, so it's probably getting translated from
something like UTF-8 before it reaches you. Might want to compare the two.

I'm a little surprised by the magnitude of the difference; I might have
expected it to be 33%, not 400%.
