fread is about 18x faster than fgetc().  getc() is the same speed as
fgetc().  getc_unlocked() is definitely faster than getc, but still at
least 7x slower than fread().

Well, my question was more about fgetc() vs fgets().
If you feel like it, you might benchmark this patch:

Wouldn't it be better to improve the implementation of getc()
in glibc instead?

getc() is meant to be the fast version of fgetc(), and if it isn't
(anymore), then the library needs fixing.
