Interesting. I think we'd better follow RI although it's implementation
dependent. Otherwise, it breaks existing application.

To make test more interesting, I wrote a similar test:


 public void testFile() throws Exception {
        File derbyLog = File.createTempFile("test", "log");
        derbyLog.deleteOnExit();
        RandomAccessFile fos = new RandomAccessFile(derbyLog, "rws");
        for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
            fos.write(0x41);
            assertEquals(1 + i, derbyLog.length());
        }

 }

Run it and you'll be surprised. :-)

Wow! It tooks RI 0.381 seconds, while 21.761 seconds for Harmony. We
shall improve our performance!

Let's have a more further study about this issue.
