Are you sure you're comparing (roughly) equal things?
I would compare:
FileStream stdin
(very roughly) to:
ZnCharacterReadStream on:
(ZnBufferedReadStream on:
Stdio stdin).
Actually it is still not a fair comparison because MultiByteFileStream
attempts to be writable as well. If you could notionally do:
FileStream stdin
readOnly;
binary;
unbuffered;
yourself.
you could compare FileStream and Stdio :-)
One important similarity: At the bottom they both use the same set of
primitives to communicate with the OS stdio streams (FilePlugin).
