>reading it line by line forward costs too much...
And reading it line by line backward doesn't? Regardless of your solution, you've got the penalty of reading the file. Unless it's a random access file (unlikely), that involves sequential front-to-back access. Oh, and have you tried any of the suggestions and proven that they all cost too much? I'm willing to bet that you haven't.
