actually, your test program is *grossly* skewed in favour of the ASCII
implementation.  If you modify it slightly to behave in a way i'd
expect any developer to, you get (avg 5 runs on a crappy dell vostro
desktop):

 Binary CLF:   0m6.947s
 ASCII CLF:    0m7.004s

If you take i/o out of the question too and set output to /dev/null,
then you get:

 Binary CLF:   0m0.610s
 ASCII CLF:    0m1.905s

which is far more realistic for high throughput servers which are
logging to an in-memory circular buffer or some shared memory
segments.

note that i wrote it in all of about 120 seconds, so there may be some
errors in the output format, but my point stands :-)
