Comparative between PHP stream_get_line and fgets about processing large files

Source: http://ie2.php.net/manual/en/function.fgets.php#113113

Regarding Leigh Purdie's comment (from 4 years ago) about stream_get_line being better for large files, I decided to test this in case it was optimized since then and I found out that Leigh's comment is just completely incorrect fgets actually has a small amount of better performance, but the test Leigh did was not set up to produce good results.

The suggested test was:

-- Remove the history from 
rm -rf .git

-- recreate the repos from the current content only
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

-- push to the github remote repos ensuring you overwrite history
git remote add origin git@github.com:<YOUR ACCOUNT>/<YOUR REPOS>.git
