File I/O with mode 'a+' is about 100x faster than 'r+b' on Mac OS-X #123

I'm not sure why, but file I/O is much, much faster on Mac OS-X when using mode 'a+' than 'r+b'. From the docs I have no idea why this would be. I also don't know if there is any real difference between the two other than speed.

We should look into this.
