Can someone please explain how the transferTo method can copy a file at seemingly 1000+ MB/sec. I ran some tests using a 372MB binary file and the first copy is slow, but if I change the output name and run it again, an additional file appears in the output directory in as little as 180ms, which works out to over 2000 MB/sec. What's going on here? I'm running Windows 7.
private static void doCopyNIO(String inFile, String outFile) {
FileInputStream fis = null;
FileOutputStream fos = null;
FileChannel cis = null;
FileChannel cos = null;
long len = 0, pos = 0;
try {
fis = new FileInputStream(inFile);
cis = fis.getChannel();
fos = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
cos = fos.getChannel();
len = cis.size();
while (pos < len) {
pos += cis.transferTo(pos, (1024 * 1024 * 10), cos); // 10M
}
fos.flush();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (cos != null) { try { cos.close(); } catch (Exception e) { } }
if (fos != null) { try { fos.close(); } catch (Exception e) { } }
if (cis != null) { try { cis.close(); } catch (Exception e) { } }
if (fis != null) { try { fis.close(); } catch (Exception e) { } }
}
}

The key there is "first time". Your OS has cached the entire file in RAM (372MB isn't much these days), and so the only overhead is the time required to flip the zero-copy buffers through the memory-mapped space. If you flush the cache (don't know how to do that on Windows; if the file's on an external drive, you could unplug and replug), you'll see that settle down to read rates, and if you force the OS to flush the writes, your program will block for 10 seconds or so if you have a hard disk.
