If ns_tmpnam is generating a filename in /tmp, and your /tmp is
a mount in tmpfs and you have plenty of RAM, then going from
socket to file in tmp is actually quite fast -- I bet even some
platforms could do a readv() straight from socket fd to filesystem
fd without entering into userspace, or do some other kind of
mmap'ing deal.

Of course, now sucking the file back from the fs in /tmp into
your userspace application might suck, but again, if it's in
tmpfs, it'll be way fast.
