Why do you even bother posting numbers, when multiple people have told you 
that the numbers you post are meaningless?

As long as you throttle the writer by not reading data in a timely fashion 
(by using poll() or select() in the main loop and reading when it's 
available), and you continue to talk about "data read intervals", all your 
numbers are CRAP.

OF COURSE a temp-file will work better, because then you basically have an 
infinite buffer, and data read intervals don't _matter_. But we've tried 
to tell you that this is not because temp-files are better, but because 
your reader artificially throttles the writer for a pipe.
