What method do you use to perform writing/reading ?

Do you use #write #read ? Perhaps reading through #include would be faster ?
Perhaps writing it into array would offer later fastest #include? Perhaps
other trick could be possible as well - for example you could write data into
ascii image and then read it through evaluation of colors on pigment. I
suggest to seeking for workarounds temporary as long as persistent variables
are not available.
