JDK1.4引入了java.nio.*包，用以提高IO操作的性能。
下面做个试验测试拷贝一个59M的文件，使用不缓冲的FileInoutStream，带缓冲的BufferedFileInputStream，nio包中的FileChannel和ByteBuffer。

代码:

public class FileCopy {public static final int  BSIZE = 1024;public static void main(String[] args) {String fileFrom = "D:" + File.separator + "操作系统" +File.separator+ "week9_文件系统" +File.separator+ "video.mp4";String fileTo = "D:" + File.separator + "操作系统" +File.separator+ "week9_文件系统" +File.separator+ "videoCopy.mp4";long startMill;long endMill;startMill = System.currentTimeMillis();copyWithNio(fileFrom, fileTo);endMill = System.currentTimeMillis();System.out.println("use " + (endMill - startMill) / 1000 + "s");}public static void copyWithNoBuffer(String from, String to) {try {FileInputStream fr = new FileInputStream(from);FileOutputStream fw = new FileOutputStream(to);int i;while ((i = fr.read()) != -1) {fw.write(i);}fr.close();fw.close();System.out.println("end of copy");} catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}}public static void copyWithBuffer(String from, String to) {try {BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(from));BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(to));int i;while ((i = bis.read()) != -1) {bos.write(i);}bis.close();bos.close();} catch (IOException e) {// TODO Auto-generated catch blocke.printStackTrace();}}public static void copyWithNio(String from, String to) {try {FileChannel in = new FileInputStream(from).getChannel();FileChannel out = new FileOutputStream(to).getChannel();ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.allocate(BSIZE);while (in.read(bb) != -1) {bb.flip();out.write(bb);bb.clear();}} catch (IOException e) {// TODO Auto-generated catch blocke.printStackTrace();}}
}

结论：

1. FileInoutStream：24分钟
2. BufferedFileInputStream: 5秒
3. FileChannel和ByteBuffer: 1秒

从结论看，Nio的性能提升是很明显的。
