With this particular benchmark I was not trying to demonstrate the use
of NIO, but decide the optimal way to read a whole file of characters
at a time, something I do very often. 

Even though I have written some code that at least functions using NIO
I can't say I understand it. I primarily just glue together methods
based on the types of parameters and return types. I don't have an
overall picture of how it works or why it works, or what it is for, as
I do for ordinary I/O.
 
I just have vague notion that if you keep your data in buffers, off
the Java heap, and ignore most of it, NIO will work faster than
ordinary I/O.

I would be happy to post some sample code, explanations etc. at
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/nio.html
if you are up to expounding on NIO.
