BufferInputStream certainly contains a byte[]-based buffer, with a
default size of 2048 bytes. It may be this, or possibly some
inefficiency in its buffer code, that's causing the problem, I
guess. I haven't got source for post-JDK 1.1, and haven't actually
checked the code in detail myself, but the classes involved were
written by one of the better Sun Java engineers, so I'd be inclined to 
trust it.
