Turns out neither is best. The best in splitting your buffer space in
half and using half for BufferedOutputStream and half for
BufferedWriter. (the optimal split has yet to be determined.)
The differences are substantial.

// Speeds are in seconds averaged over 2 trials using
104,857,600 character files and 65,536 character buffers.
// BufferedWriter 5.53
// BufferedOutputStream 25.64 W O R S T
// DoubleBufferedWriter 3.67 B E S T

// BufferedReader 5.16
// BufferedInputStream 17.18 W O R S T
// DoubleBufferedReader 4.17 B E S T

When a newbie asks for help tracking a bug in a code snippet, the problem is usually is the code he did not post, hence the value of an SSCCE.

Full description of my machine is at
http://mindprod.com/contact/equipment.html

The crucial features are

2 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ dual core

3 GIG ram.

Windows 7 64-bit JDK 1.6.0_18 64 bit.

SATA-3 7200 RPM disk

It is a simple Java program you can run without any fuss.

I still have to do a few experiments to see how best to allocate RAM
between the BufferedOutStream and the BufferedWriter.

Turns out giving 25% of the space to BufferedOutputStream and 50% of
space to BufferedInputStream is optimal.

Speeds are in seconds averaged over 3 trials using 104,857,600
character files and 65,536 character buffers.

BufferedWriter 4.37 seconds
BufferedOutputStream 24.12 seconds W O R S T
DoubleBufferedWriter 10% to BufferedOutputStream 4.00 seconds
DoubleBufferedWriter 25% to BufferedOutputStream 3.75 seconds B E S T
DoubleBufferedWriter 50% to BufferedOutputStream 3.86 seconds
DoubleBufferedWriter 75% to BufferedOutputStream 3.87 seconds

BufferedReader 4.10 seconds
BufferedInputStream 14.81 seconds
DoubleBufferedReader 10% to BufferedInputStream 3.96 seconds
DoubleBufferedReader 25% to BufferedInputStream 4.03 seconds
DoubleBufferedReader 50% to BufferedInputStream 3.88 seconds B E S T
DoubleBufferedReader 75% to BufferedInputStream 3.94 seconds

Sun and Jet agree that using a BufferedOutputStream is worst, but
disagree on what is best.
