Why gfortran`s stream access is so slow?

Hi, everyone, i want to why gfortran`s stream read write is so slow?
From gfortran`s manual, i know that gfortran`s I/O are buffered on
default, so it should be ok while reading bytes and bytes.
For testing, i wrote programs below:
----------------------------------------------C
Version---------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
if(argc!=3)
{
printf("no enought parameters!\n");
return -1;
}
FILE *srcFile,*destFile;
unsigned char byte;
int i,len;
srcFile=fopen(argv[1],"rb+");
destFile=fopen(argv[2],"wb+");
fseek(srcFile,0,SEEK_END);
len=ftell(srcFile);
printf("len=%d",len);
rewind(srcFile);
for(i=len;i>0;i--)
{
byte=fgetc(srcFile);
fputc(byte,destFile);
}
fclose(destFile);
fclose(srcFile);
return 0;
}
------------------------------------------------
GFortran--------------------------------------------

program fortCP
character(len=256) :: srcFile,destFile
character :: byte

if(command_argument_count().ne.2)then
print*,'agrument not enough!'
stop
end if
call get_command_argument(1,srcFile)
call get_command_argument(2,destFile)

open(10,file=trim(srcFile),form='unformatted',access='stream',status='old')

open(20,file=trim(destFile),form='unformatted',access='stream',status='replace')
do
read(10,end=500),byte
write(20),byte
end do
500 close(20)
close(10)
end program fortCP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here`s the result.
