I strongly advise upgrading to v4.5.1 . There is a huge I/O
performance problem with v4.5.0 due to a stupid bug which causes the
loss of buffering when reading a text file. This means that reading a
text file ends up calling the operating system for each character
read. For v4.5.0 compared to previous versions I've measured a
performance slowdown of a factor of 50 when reading source code, so
the compile time and load time for large files will be noticeably slow.
