From: "Yoann M." Date: 2011-05-13T00:07:30+09:00 Subject: Re: Optimize write of large file You're right, doing the buffer myself does not make it faster. For writing 10 millions lines, with an array of strings, one string, and no homemade-buffer (code is attached) : Buffer array : 11.141s Buffer string : 9.748s No buffer : 10.344s Don't you think using more RAM before writing on disk could make the process faster ? I thought so, then I'd like to say to File how much RAM it can uses to speed things up, because I can use a lot of RAM.
