Why is reading lines from stdin much slower in C++ than Python?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9371238/why-is-reading-lines-from-stdin-much-slower-in-c-than-python

Still it's interesting to explore all the different implementations and think about the performance implications. Thanks again Edit.. the FILE based stdio and iostreams often have separate implementations and therefore separate buffers this could lead to a problem..
