Probably you will be able to, but disk access will always take a big chunk of the processing time, no matter whether you use NIO or standard java streams (which, in fact, delegate to NIO anyway). Disk operations are just quite time consuming by nature -- you'd need a distributed file system to save on drive's physical head seeks to avoid it.

Thanks Dawid,

I joined his list and have been brainstorming with
him, so i'll see what he says.

I plan on converting some of the calls to NIO in
nutch, just wondered if anyone hadn't done it for a
specific reason or what.

With 36million pages, analyze DB took 192 minutes
total time, 118 minutes "user time" and only 37
minutes "cpu time"

Going to see if i can beat that.

Leo Galambos of the Egothor project has done it I
believe -- if you ask him directly I'm sure he'll provide you with the
difference it made for Egothor. Nutch and Egothor are obviously two
different things, but the results might give you a hint about the general
performance gain from converting to NIO.


Cheers,
Dawid

Has anyone done any testing of converting

read/writes

& io to NIO or do you think that wouldn't offer

much gain?
