[jcifs] Does jcifs use an internal buffer

[Christoph Held]

Fujitsu EST is delivering jcifs with the Fujitsu Enabler product. 

I am wondering if jcifs uses an internal buffer.

I have noticed that the read() function of SmbFileInputStream class is quite 
slow. Wrapped in a BufferedInputStream the read() function of 
BufferedInputStream is about 500 times faster. The conclusion is, that jcifs 
does not use an internal buffer (at least in our configuration).

My questions are:
1. Is this conclusion correct?
2. Should we recommend our customers, always to wrap the SmbFileInputStream in 
a BufferedInputStream?

(I am not a real developer and the answers are not obvious to me)

Greetings
