[snipped Java efficiency questions]

Overall, the Linux kernel is sufficiently fast and good at scheduling

unless you're using well optimized C or assembly, you'll never be able
to get
better IO results than by just letting the kernel manage it for you.
Java has
sufficiently many extra layers of indirection that any slowdowns due to
the
fact that Java is a heavily interpreted language are orders of magnitude
bigger than any slowdowns from improper IO scheduling.
