Thank you for the suggestions. I created a test program to compare them:
import java.io.BufferedOutputStream;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.lang.StringBuilder;
public class systemouttest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
long starttime = System.currentTimeMillis();
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
System.out.println( i );
}
long printlntime = System.currentTimeMillis();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
sb.append( i + "
" );
}
System.out.print(sb.toString());
long stringbuildertime = System.currentTimeMillis();
OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream ( System.out );
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
out.write((i + "
").getBytes());
}
out.flush();
long bufferedoutputtime = System.currentTimeMillis();
BufferedWriter log = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(System.out));
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
log.write(i + "
");
}
log.flush();
long bufferedwritertime = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println( "System.out.println: " + (printlntime - starttime) );
System.out.println( "StringBuilder: " + (stringbuildertime - printlntime) );
System.out.println( "BufferedoutputStream: " + (bufferedoutputtime - stringbuildertime) );
System.out.println( "BufferedWriter: " + (bufferedwritertime - bufferedoutputtime) );
}
}
Results:
Environment1
System.out.println: 482
StringBuilder: 210
BufferedoutputStream: 86
BufferedWriter: 202
Environment2
System.out.println: 1763
StringBuilder: 45
BufferedoutputStream: 76
BufferedWriter: 34
The suggestions all performed better than System.out.println. BufferedOutputStream seems to be the safest choice as it performed well in both test environments. BufferedWriter maybe faster though.
Please post further suggestions if anyone has some ideas. I'm sure someone can make it go faster :)
