At the end of the day, Java is not capable of handling huge amounts of IO.
As for the rest of your comments, You say you are pushing out 1.5Gbits with Wowza or you are pushing 1.5Gbits in general? Are you trying to bait some potential customers in here with your "mystery" solution?

1.5G off a single box with bonded nics. We push a lot more than that. Yes thats it you are exactly right. I'm fishing for potential customers with our mystery configuration. You are sherlock homes himself.
No these little boxes are not using wowza or fms. But nginx like you use. Our hardware is just.. different.
My point is with the proper configuration you can get a lot more bang for your buck. I'm sure if we swapped it to Wowza these machines might be able to pump out the same.
I wouldn't crack to much on java. Much of oracle itself is done in java now. This was one of the main reasons why oracle bought sun to take oracle into itself and create more of a database appliance to compete with EMC and likes. Since they were missing a hardware "solution". Much like a lot of ERP, JD Edwards/Peoplesoft, SAP software and a likes are all done in java.
Overall though Yes, Wowza creates more disk IO than traditional psudo-streaming methods using lighttpd or nginx. You are completely 100% correct on this statement. They have done things to improve this and its memory caching, and the more memory you have the more it can serve faster due to well.. yes! Caching into memory.
The only advantage wowza had over nginx/lighttpd was its ability to stream at the bit rate level properly. But any admin that knows which way is up can configure nginx/lighttpd to do almost the same. But wowza will win on that level but a trade off vs hardware.
