[Juglist] buffers on buffers?

[Richard O. Hammer]

Is double buffering ever a good idea?

Here are two lines of code from a class of mine:
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream( socket.getInputStream(), 1024 );
BufferedReader smtpCommandLineReader = new BufferedReader(new 
InputStreamReader(in));

Is it good, or is it stupid, to build a BufferedReader with a 
BufferedInputStream?  Why?  Are there underlying tradeoffs?

Thanks,
Rich Hammer
