ah, and it works: sequential reading remote /dev/zero to /dev/null: 17MB/s pipelined reading remote /dev/zero to /dev/null: 58MB/s sequential writing local /dev/zero to remote /dev/null: 13MB/s pipelined writing local /dev/zero to remove /dev/null: 44MB/s
this is with 4 readers and 2 writers which might not be optimal, but it shows that pipelining can speed stuff up at least. -- cinap
