Ah, now we're getting closer to the point.  I'd first test whether the
slowness is caused by the underlying stream or the reading procedure.
If it's the stream (e.g. because you read unbuffered from a socket)
then you might want to add buffering or you need a faster NIC.  If
it's in the reading then look at Mark's suggestion.

See Patricia's reply.  Java works fundamentally different from C or C+
+.  For example, there are no pointers into memory.  I seriously
suggest you make yourself familiar with the language and the JVM.

Kind regards
