You're tasked with optimizing a program that reads large text files. What strategies could you employ to improve the performance of the file reading operation?
- Employ memory-mapped files to reduce I/O operations.
- Ignore error handling to reduce overhead.
- Read the entire file into memory at once.
- Use a simple sequential read operation without any optimizations.
Utilizing memory-mapped files can reduce I/O operations and improve the performance of reading large text files. Loading the entire file into memory can lead to resource issues.
