I don't think I'd call a 60% difference "almost as fast."
As for the I/O issue, I agree, but I was trying to mimic the perl
code, and
I had to use no special buffering in perl. In fact, I would expect the
TextOutputStream to offer its own buffering to avoid the I/O issues
you
mentioned.
I'd suspect the OS is doing a lot of I/O buffering for the Perl code
