If that's the case, I suspect your fastest output would just come 
with the appropriate write() method in OutputStream or Writer. Why 
use a fancy API at all?

Now, of course, if performance isn't the be-all and end-all then 
there may be advantages to using an API, but likely the fastest 
output will be achieved with the most direct approach.
