And reading the thread history I realize the problem was already identified (sorry), however:

Not really that surprising looking at the implementation. Each call to read(), in addition to the obvious buffer arithmetic etc, results in: * A lock being acquired. * ensureOpen() being called, which checks whether the stream was already closed. One might argue about whether streams should be thread-safe or not, but in any case I think it is good default behavior to always strive to do I/O chunk-wise, regardless of whether the expectation is that the underlying stream is fast (for some definition of fast). -- / Peter Schuller -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
