best(fastest) way to send and get lists from files


I've looked into pickle, dump, load, save, readlines(), etc.

Which is the best method? Fastest? My lists tend to be around a thousand to a million items.

Binary and text files are both okay, text would be preferred in general unless there's a significant speed boost from something binary.

thanks
