Description

"FileContent.getInputStream"'s documentation specifies that "The input stream is buffered" which is true (because the implementation in "DefaultFileContent" wraps it in "FileContentInputStream" which inherits "MonitorInputStream" which in turn "BufferedInputStream". However, there is no way to configure the buffer size and sometimes the default one which is just 8 KB might not be a good choice. Adding an ability to specify a different buffer size will help greatly boost the performance when talking to slow providers.
