Comment(by karsten):

 I'm somewhat worried about the time we spend on this ticket.  Maybe we
 should have two substeps here:

  1. Come up with a prototype in R that parses files containing key=value
 pairs as efficiently as possible.  There's no need to make this code
 beautiful yet, just fast.  AFAIK, 4.3 seconds are the lowest bid so far,
 but I hope we can do better.

  2. Decide if the prototype is fast enough to stick with R and/or the
 .mergedata format.  If not, discuss which piece should be replaced?  If
 the prototype is fast enough, clean up the prototype and call this ticket
 done.

 I'm mainly interested if we can define the .mergedata format as the new
 standard Torperf output format.  Or rather, I want to tweak that format a
 little bit which I'm going to write in a separate ticket.  But I need to
 know whether the general key=value format is something we can work with.
