Reading ALL BUT the first and last line of a huge file

Hi.

Pardon me if I'm posting a duplicate thread but..
I have a text file with over 150 Million records, file size is in the range if MB(close to GB).
The requirement is to read ALL the lines excepting the FIRST LINE which is the file header and the LAST LINE which is it's trailer record.

What is the most OPTIMUM way to do it?
I'm aware that the SED solution will take a significantly long time to process such a huge file, hence I'm not opting it.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Warm Regards,
Kumarjit.
