为什么计算机内存4倍增长,为什么将文件读入内存需要4倍于Java的内存？

我有以下代码读取跟随文件,将\ r \n附加到每行的末尾并将结果放入字符串缓冲区:

public InputStream getInputStream() throws Exception {

StringBuffer holder = new StringBuffer();

try{

FileInputStream reader = new FileInputStream(inputPath);

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(reader));

String strLine;

//Read File Line By Line

boolean start = true;

while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {

if( !start )

holder.append("\r\n");

holder.append(strLine);

start = false;

}

//Close the input stream

reader.close();

}catch (Throwable e){//this is where the heap error is caught up to 2Gb

System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());

}

return new StringBufferInputStream(holder.toString());

}

我尝试读取400Mb文件,并将最大堆空间更改为2Gb,但它仍然给出了内存堆异常.有任何想法吗？
