In this developer's tests, producing one gigabyte worth of NULs in a busy loop that writes out individual bytes, unbuffered, took ~27sec. Writing chunked 256kB buffers instead only took ~0.6sec This matters because we are about to introduce a pair of test cases that want to be able to produce 5GB of NULs, and we cannot use `/dev/zero` because of the HP NonStop platform's lack of support for that device.
