Unnecessary copy?

[Bill Burke]

I'm looking at the code for NioWorker.read().  I notice that a 
ChannelBuffer is created, then the underlying ByteBuffer is copied into 
this ChannelBuffer via the buffer.setBytes(0, bb); call.

Why isn't a wrapped ChannelBuffer created around the ByteBuffer?  Any 
reason why the whole NIO ByteBuffer is copied?

Thanks
