FILE is not a method but only a structure. so, it doesn't perform any action, and we cannot calculate a duration on it... i think you wanted to ask for fstream methods compared with C file handling functions (
fopen(),fclose(),fread(),fwrite(),fprintf(),fscanf(), ...) insn't it ?

C io library is faster. But if you want really fast IO, you should better use directly Windows API

You're asking the wrong question. FILE is C, fstream is C++. You should use C++ if your app is in C++, even if it takes a microsecond longer. Reasons - extensibility and ability to write good code. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
