You mentioned that your program sometimes hiccups when it gets
to the 16K mark and writes out the data.  What I'd like to see
is a program that has TWO input buffers.  When the one gets full,
it then switches to the second one while the first is being
written to disk.  Presumably this would reduce or eliminate any
slowdown caused by writing out the buffer.
