So why is it doing explicit reads, in an explicit do-loop, essentially 
walking through the file, when it could have just ridden The Cycle 
through the file?

Speaking of which, since you aren't riding The Cycle, are you sure you 
have it disabled? Because if you don't either use it or disable it, the 
whole program is just going to keep repeating indefinitely.
