Looking at lsof it seems to use fopen() and fgets() to parse various
proc files. I doubt that we can make the parsing singificantly faster
without completely rewriting the internals.

As for procps the readproc.c has file2str() function that does copy
whole proc files into a buffer with open() - read() - close(). It may be
reasonably easy to hook the new systall there and it will probably make
ps and top slightly faster.
