Place minus before i, and the time will be 120 milliseconds. From getl help: "If n is omitted or negative, finds next line. It is much more effective, than to use growing n every time.". Because, when positive line number is specified, getl searches for n-th line from the beginning of the string, 70000 times in 3 MB. If line number is omitted or negative (any negative number), getl remembers previous line in that string, and searches from that place, not from the beginning.


lines[i].getl(data -i)
