Split a file

Hello Masters
In Solaris8 environment.
I have a 4 Gb binary file. I want to remove 4160 bytes from the beginning of the file and keep the rest. What is your recommended commands or solutions. Speed of the operation matters also.
Thanks for your advises.
Cheers
Reza

How about dd ?

Something on the lines of

Code:
dd if=/file/with/4GB of=/resulting/file skip=1 bs=4160
It might be possible to get better performance if you include the other dd options.
