[snipped Java efficiency questions]
Overall, the Linux kernel is sufficiently fast and good at scheduling IO that 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.
