Java Tutorial - Java Script :
Information is delivered more quickly if it can be sent in large chunks, even if those chunks are received faster than they can be handled. As an example of this, consider which of the following book-reading techniques is faster:
· A friend lends you a book in its entirety and you read it.
· A friend lends you a book one page at a time and doesn’t give you a new page until you have finished the previous one.
Obviously, the first technique is going to be faster and more efficient. The same benefits are true of buffered streams in Java. A buffer is a storage place where data can be kept before it is needed by a program that reads or writes that data. By using a buffer, you can get data without always going back to the original source of the data.
