Keep insisting? What do you mean by that?

That stands to reason. I wasn't responding to you. The above comment was in reply to nasretdinov.
Your comment was in reply to nasretdinov, but its fundamental logic ignores what I've been telling you this whole time. You're pretending that the only solution to iterating through files is a work queue and that any solution that does a synchronous open/close for each iteration is fundamentally bad. I have told you why it isn't: you don't always need the performance.
