> You do not gain by using nio when copying files to a local drive. As far as I know, you do gain a little, in the flexibility offered (memory mapped files, channels etc). The code is also (usually) much easier to maintain compared to standard IO.

When I first looked at it, I think it had something to do with the blocking behaviour of standard IO, NIO is actually Non-(blocking) IO in this respect. Sort of how Apache 1 (used blocking threads), -> Apache 2 (uses non-blocking model), at least I think that's how the performance is achieved. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
