I have just checked PrintWriter?s source code (OpenJDK 6). There?s no
sign of it busy-looping anywhere. I have also checked PrintStream: no
busy-looping.
And just for the hell of it I downloaded JDK 1.1.8? and I wasn?t able to
find any busy-looping in there, either. So whatever it was that bit you
back then it must have been something different and you just
mis-diagnosed it. :/
