Hi,

How fast and efficient are streams in the .NET Framework? Do they
consume large amounts of server resources (cpu usage, memory, etc.)?

Thanks,
Roshawn

I don't know... :-(
But I do know that using a BufferedStream could, sometimes, speed up things
a little...

BTW, many low level stream (SocketStrem, PipeStream, FileStream, etc...)
Are just thin wrapper over a file's HANDLE & Win32 ReadFile()/WriteFile()
API, so they consume as much and are as efficient as those.

Thanks for the heads-up. I wasn't even aware of that. :-)
