It has been suggested that better buffering, and potentially the use of a StreamHandle that wraps a BufferedOutputStream, would improve performance. Investigation is needed to determine whether that approach makes sense, given the overhead of closing and re-opening streams to achieve random access. It may also be worthwhile to improve NIOFileHandle's buffering to accomplish the same thing (maybe use a larger default buffer if the access mode is READ_WRITE?).
