Yes, NIO uses JNI critical sections when copying to/from arrays, but as 
a FYI, we hope to eliminate this native code soon. The replacement uses 
the Unsafe interface to do the copying and will be much faster than the 
current native implementation. To allow for safepoint polling (in the 
VM) it also copies very large arrays/buffers in strides.
