About efficiently reading and writing files...

Hello,
My program writes(and reads) very large files from the hard drive.  Do
the standard functions fwrite/fread provide the maximum level of
performance for doing these operations within a Cocoa application, or
do I need to use some other lower-level method?  Should I use
NSFileHandle instead of fwrite/fread/etc functions?  It is very
important that I get the maximum possible performance in writing the
files, i don't really care if the computer does nothing else when
writing.

Thanks in advance,
Juan
