Please consider this request to override the `java.io.InputStream` methods `readAllBytes()` and `readNBytes(int)` in `FileInputStream` with more performant implementations. The method overrides attempt to read all requested bytes into a single array of the required size rather than composing the result from a sequence of smaller arrays. An example of the performance improvements is as follows.
