Why are you presuming I was referring to your posts? I was answering one of Clebert's posts where he *did* propose using streams.

Are suggesting we preclude people from using direct byte buffers?

As far as I am concerned it is up to the user to use the API properly. We shouldn't prevent them doing high performance stuff because we thing they're a bit stupid and might make mistakes.
