How slow is writing to disk?

Written by Johnny Java

Even using a BufferedWriter, writing to disk is painfully slow. If you are updating a file and there is a good chance that the file hasn't changed, it's worth doing the following: Build the new file in memory Read the old file from disk Compare the contents Write the new file if necessary That's it folks, just a friendly performance note!

Sun JDK 1.4.2_12 InputStreamReader

Written by Johnny Java

Found what looks like a problem in jdk 1.4.2_12: If you create a java.io.InputStreamReader with an encoding of "UnicodeLittle" (UTF-16LE) and try to read an UTF-16LE encoded file with no byte order mark you will not get the appropriate data. This problem does not exist in jdk 1.4.2_10
