Dear all,
I'm looking into splitting a FASTQ read file into several smaller sized files. It's basically just distributing batches of 4 lines into a certain number of files.

which works of course, but is too slooooooooooow on a HiSeq read file.
Any recommendations for faster splitting? awk, sed?
Thanks!
