[Mono-dev] Should we replace MemoryStream?

[Andreas Nahr]

Are you talking about System.IO.MemoryStream?
Then imho this would be a problematic move.
Most people are used to new MemoryStream (someByteArray) being O(0) time,
but with ChunkedStream would be O(n). In fact in those cases ChunkedStream
would need twice the memory because it would still need to retain the
original byte array (e.g. for GetBuffer).

Happy hacking
Andreas

Hello folks,

    I just blogged about a memory fragmentation issue here:

	http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2009/Nov-09.html

    And I am wondering: since MemoryStream is one of these sources of
problems, we could replace this implementation with MindTouch's
ChunkedStream.

Miguel.
