As long as you only have one character to 'unget' you could probably speed
it up by introducing a static char which holds the 'ungetted' char (or
null), instead of going through ungetc() -- fgetc(). OTOH, the if-statement
to check if there is something in that variable will also take time (see
below for better ways).
You might also win a bit of speed by using a switch instead of the
if-statments. Switch statements are usually well optimised by the compiler.
Having one case for '\r' first, and another case for '\n' first will also
eliminate some more of the if-statements (mis-predicted branching is
expensive on todays CPU:s).
But you would probably get the best performance by opening the file in
binary mode, reading full disk blocks into a buffer, and implement MyFgets
on top of that. No library calls, ungetc() is only a Ptr--; and so on.
