Raghu Angadi commented on LUCENE-1121:
--------------------------------------

Only savings I would expect from transferTo() would be CPU reduction. Does the 
benchmark above measure wall clock time or "cpu time"? Btw, the windows results 
are pretty... strange.

HADOOP-3164 shows expected CPU benefit. Still need to do more extensive tests 
where I max out CPU with and without patch and compare the wall clock time. 
Initial test just compares cpu reported on /proc/pid/stat with a test that is 
disk bound.

> When building a CFS file, and also when merging stored fields (and
> term vectors, with LUCENE-1120), we copy large blocks of bytes at
> once.
> We currently do this with an intermediate buffer.
> But, nio.transferTo should be somewhat faster on OS's that offer low
> level IO APIs for moving blocks of bytes between files.
