Footnotes

1. 46 benchmarks were skipped, so the baseline results were used instead. If they were deleted from the codebase, click here and archive them to remove them from the performance reports. ↩

2. No successful run was found on main (236e220) during the generation of this report, so 5f9f735 was used instead as the comparison base. There might be some changes unrelated to this pull request in this report. ↩

truncate -s 9EB huge; cat-p huge | pv>/dev/null is 3~10GiB/s faster than zero-copy yes now...

$ taskset -c 1 cat-p huge |taskset -c 2 pv>/dev/null
^C39GiB 0:00:06 [40.0GiB/s]
$ taskset -c 1 cat huge |taskset -c 2 pv>/dev/null
^C92GiB 0:00:15 [20.7GiB/s]

I have no idea how to achieve yes which has same perf with cat sparse-huge.
I considered that tee()ing 1 MiB pipe with references of y is same with splice()ing a zero page, but it has simllar perf with real 1 MiB y.
