1) unsafeInterleaveIO seems like a big hammer to use for this problem, and there are a lot of gotchas involved that you may not have fully thought out. But you do meet the main criteria (file being read is assumed to be constant for a single run of the program).
Any other gotcha?
The one that springs to mind is that you might run out of file handles. At least on Linux, that's a precious resource. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
