Naw.

Repeat for each line is fastest.

Then is repeat counting lines and getting the line once.

Then is repeat counting lines and getting it multiple times.

Also avoid putting into line n in a loop.  You normally want to 
accumulate lines.  Put it & lf after your accumulator variable and then 
drop the last char after the loop if you don't want it.
