Java IO Performance XOR with 2 Files

Question

I'm having some trouble with my Java IO Performance.

First at all,I've read my tips here about the performance,which i tried to implement.

But here is my Problem:

With small files (up to 400MB), it is pretty fast. But the real files i will be working with are about 30 GB.And with these,it slows down like hell.

What it does: Take 2 Files,do the exclusive or and write a new File.

BTW: Don't worry about the file cut at the end.That is just to fix a little mistake I've not found yet.

I hope someone has a tip for me.Thanks.

Answer 1

Why would you need a RandomAccessFile to read it sequentially?

Have you tried using a simple BufferedInputStream over a FileInputStream there?
