Comment Reader/Writer classes in java benchmark affect res (Score 2, Insightful) 954
By replacing the Reader/Writer classes in the java benchmark with their InputStream/OutputStream counterparts I realized a 24% IO performance boost when running the 1.4 JVM with the -server option. The Stream classes don't bother with the unicode conversions that the Reader/Writer classes do. Since the other benchmarks didn't perform unicode conversions (at least the C/C++ ones - can't speak for the other langs), this seemed like a reasonable modification.
Curiously, without the -server option, this resulting in a 78% performance HIT.
