Issue 1:
Hello,

I try to read 1 month of tick data of AUD/USD

Sample data can be found here

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8iUtWjZOTqla3ZZTC1FS0pkZXc/view?usp=sharing

see also pydata/pandas-datareader#153

AUDUSD-2014-01.zip is a 11M file and contains AUDUSD-2014-01.csv which is a 85M file

which is not so big!

With Python / Pandas

$ ipython

In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: %time df=pd.read_csv("AUDUSD-2014-01.csv", names=['Symbol', 'Date', 'Bid', 'Ask'])
CPU times: user 3.22 s, sys: 510 ms, total: 3.73 s
Wall time: 4.02 s

With Julia / readcsv

julia> @time df=readcsv("AUDUSD-2014-01.csv");
11.376916 seconds (31.17 M allocations: 1.012 GB, 33.02% gc time)

It's even worse with DataFrames.jl readtable

see JuliaData/DataFrames.jl#942

Kind regards

Issue 2:
Hi all,

I'm not sure when this problem started but I was facing some issues with OpenBLAS being loaded correctly, so I removed and reinstalled Julia and all dependencies using Homebrew and ran the test suite, resulting in the following error:

Can't really figure out what's wrong. Anybody suggestions on how to fix this?
