Will reading a file be faster with a FILE* or an std::ifstream?

I was thinking about this when I ran into a problem using std::ofstream. My thinking is that since std::ifstream, it wouldn't support random access. Rather, it would just start at the beginning and stream by until you get to the part you want. Is this just quick so we don't notice? And I'm pretty sure FILE* supports random access so th...

Read data directly from file to RAM in C++

Hello All, I am pretty new to socket programming. I have a function call similar to: len = read(FD, buf, 1500); [which is responsible for reading data from a telnet connection] a printf in the next line shows buf to be >300 characters in length but (int)len gives only 89!

java: datainputstream: do read calls take up processor time while waiting for data?

If I call read() on a DataInputStream, will it take up CPU cycles waiting for data or does it yield the current thread and get woken up by an interrupt signaling that data has arrived? My motivation for asking the question is to determine whether or not a stream reader needs to be in its own thread or not. A blocking read that takes up...
