CAtlFile vs fstream

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have a project where I have been using CAtlFile but it's not too late to
convert to fstream. Being cross-platform might make fstream useful at some
time in the future, and it's read functions are a slightly higher level, but
I was wondering how it's performance compares to CAtlfile on a windows
system. Throughput is important on this project.

Does anyone know they compare re speed, and also opening multiple handles on
the one file (read and write).

TIA David Bell.
