Hello all,

I looked around the project to-do lists and email archives, and can find
no mention of better file I/O performance or buffered files. Is anyone
working on (or interested in) this? 

For the SMS database work we're doing here, our code is completely disk
bound; even using a RAM disk, we see about 50% of the time for complex
database transactions going into StandardFileStream next/nextPut. Has
anyone looked into porting a VW-like file buffering scheme?
