Motivation:
Many network protocols (especially for example NFS) have quite a number
of integer values next to each other. In NIO, you'd normally parse/write
them with multiple read/writeInteger calls.
Unfortunately, that's a bit wasteful because we're checking the bounds
as well as the CoW state every time.
Modifications:
- Provide read/writeMultipleIntegers for up to 15 FixedWidthIntegers.
- Benchmarks
Result:
Faster code. For 10 UInt32s, this is a 5x performance win on my machine,
see benchmarks.
