Edit Question
Title
Body
Can I write to different parts of the same file concurrently from multiple threads (on a typical PC)? I mean there's only one disk head, so the writes can be only performed in some order anyway i.e. not in parallel, right? Edit: I'm writing a program that sorts a large binary file but the majority of time is still spent on disk I/O, so I'm just wondering will I gain any extra speed by doing I/O in parallel.
