How to optimize fgets file read time

Hello,

I am reading a notepad file(contains matrix value datas) using following C programming

statement

fgets( cpReadString, 6144, fStream )

but due to '6144' count, it is taking three

seconds to read. I want to reduce the time to zero seconds, can somebody help me out

to solve this issue.

Does you get a sensible speed if you use

fgets( cpReadString, 100, fStream )

If so then do repeated calls to fgets until you've download the entire file. For a large file this is the normal approach, though I agree that for only 6144 bytes you should be able to read this all at once.

Are you accessing across a network?
