This is, indeed, the Ur-solution, but perhaps you meant "your solution"?

If your implementation is slow with large files, that very likely
means your method of copying the contents of the original file is
inefficient. Efficient file copying is largely a platform-dependent
problem, so you should probably address questions about that to an
appropriate newsgroup for your platform.
