# AsyncFileWriter
Manages multi-threaded writing to a single file.

## Async Options
```.AsyncFileStream``` and ```.AsyncFileWrite``` are provided for configurability but the default of ```false``` for both is recommended.

## Default Behavior

Testing has revealed that using a standard ```fs.Write(bytes)``` on the underlying file stream yields optimal results.

```await fs.WriteAsync(bytes)``` creates enough overhead that the overall time taken to write to the destination can be much worse.
This may be fixed in future versions of .NET Core/Standard.

## Current Testing Results
Total bytes written per test: 116,888,890

### STANDARD BENCHMARKS:

#### File stream standard benchmark.
```
Total Elapsed Time: 0.1750803 seconds
```

#### File stream async benchmark.
```
Total Elapsed Time: 3.1865426 seconds
```

#### Synchronized file stream benchmark.
This test and the following tests use the same test harness and contain +1 second delay time for tesing a full open close and reopen of the underlying file stream. This is the minimum performance required to meet expecations. If a test result does not exceed this one's performance (less total time) then it's probably not worth pursuing.
