Octave's load function opens all files in binary mode and then handles
CR, CRLF, and LF line endings itself so that these files can be loaded
on any system even if the line endings have not been converted to the
"native" type for the system Octave is running on.  So I would expect
the overhead of matching CR, CRLF, or LF is the same on all systems.
