> Please review this modification of `java.io.InputStream.skipNBytes(long)` to > improve its performance when `skip(long)` skips fewer than the requested > number of bytes. In the current implementation, `skip(long)` is invoked once > and, if not enough bytes have been skipped, then `read()` is invoked for each > of the remaining bytes to be skipped. The proposed implementation instead > repeatedly invokes `skip(long)` until the requested number of bytes has been > skipped, or an error condition is encountered. For cases where `skip(long)` > skips fewer bytes than the number requested, the new version was measured to > be up to more than one thousand times faster than the old version.
