good point, that was just a small nit. I'm ok with one time fstream call.

it's hard to tell nowadays, when GCC is free (and able) to generate even several functions (not in this case,
of course) each of those will be specified for known parameter value: e.g. foo.part.1(), foo.part.2(), foo.part.3()
for foo(1), foo(2) and foo(3) calls.

on my host (tested on dummy foo() routine) it's something like this (just for note)

gcc version 4.7.1 20120721
