Highly Optimized Binary Data I/O

See What's New in Wolfram Mathematica 6

New high-speed binary file I/O has been added for maximizing import and export performance of data sets. This increases Mathematica's potential data throughput by a factor of up to 70, sufficient for real-time utilization of new high-performance computational capabilities.

Existing I/O formats handled by Import and Export have been sped up too, including the loading of tabular data--now 400-700% quicker.
