How fast are modern languages when it comes to parsing files?

What compile options were used? Dead code elimination might throw away the parsing, leaving just the I/O; I don't see anything that actually uses the parsed line.

None compile options whatsoever except -I /path/to/boost

Edit: I didn't "use" the parsed text, all I wanted is to iterate over the entire line and split the line, not store it anywhere.
