Read segments of a single file?

This is cool!

Idea: If I'm reading with N threads, a common use-case for this is processing segments of a big file in parallel, for example see https://github.com/timbray/topfew

I don't know if it'd make a difference if on your read tests, if you're reading out of four distinct files or segments from a single one. It might be fun to implement that and see what happens.

Oh, I like that idea. I'll check out your code as an example & see what I can do.
