This patch reduces GC pressure.
FileOutputStream contains a finalizer which can cause excessive garbage
collector pressure when writing many TAR files.
Finalizers are only executed when the GC feels like it. Until they are
executed, objects with finalizers are not garbage collected. Internal
benchmarks have shown that hundreds of thousands of FileOutputStream
objects could remain in memory for a very long time as a result.
We've been using this internally for a few months, without any issues.
