Java does not expose many of the I/O capabilities that are synonymous with high performance. Examples include memory mapped files and asynchronous I/O. Heck, it doesn't even expose non-blocking I/O. Even ignoring these ommisions, there are other issues with the core libraries that cause lower performance. Allan Heydon and Marc Najork of the Mercator project (see url below) have a posted a paper titled "Performance Limitations of the Java Core Libraries" that discuss both string and I/O related problems (among others). see bottom of page at: http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/mercator/research.html Gabe Beged-Dov www.jfinity.com xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
