@jozkee it looks like we are not going to get any speedup in this case. Could find a scenario that uses a different pattern: multiple calls to |

Closing this since it proves that is not beneficial to preallocate a file if we only perform one single Write.
@adamsitnik yup, I will measure the benefits of no buffering on |

Contributes to #51116
Simple change on WriteAllBytes[Async] in order to verify if there is a perf benefit on using the new FileStream ctor. This builds on top of #51111.
Perf results obtained from the benchmarks on dotnet/performance#1774:
Note: allocations increased by 128 B and appears that large writes (>=16Kb) show a perf regression of 10%. Also note that min/maxIterationCount is 100 - 101 in order to neglect the abnormal results.
