> In looking at this class, two things caught my eye.
>  # Default buffer size of 4K
>  # Re-sizing of buffer on demand
>  
> Java's {{BufferedOutputStream}} uses an internal buffer size of 8K on modern 
> JVMs.  This is due to various bench-marking that showed optimal performance 
> at this level.
>  The Re-sizing buffer looks a bit "unsafe":
>  
> {code:java}
> public void write(ByteBuffer b, int off, int len) throws IOException {
>   byte[] buf = null;
>   if (len > TEMP_BUF_LENGTH) {
>     buf = new byte[len];
>   } else {
>     if (this.tempBuf == null) {
>       this.tempBuf = new byte[TEMP_BUF_LENGTH];
>     }
>     buf = this.tempBuf;
>   }
> ...
> }
> {code}
> If this method gets one call with a 'len' of 4000, then 4001, then 4002, then 
> 4003, etc. then the 'tempBuf' will be re-created many times.  Also, it seems 
> unsafe to create a buffer as large as the 'len' input.  This could 
> theoretically lead to an internal buffer of 2GB for each instance of this 
> class.
> I propose:
>  # Increase the default buffer size to 8K
>  # Create the buffer once and chunk the output instead of loading data into a 
> single array and writing it to the output stream.
