Package: buffer Version: 1.19-10 Severity: wishlist Buffer is supposed to keep the writer side of a pipe busy. So it should be the ideal tool to put between in a pipe like this: $ lzcat maps.osm.lzma | maptool -z9 maps.bin maptools seems to read in chunks of about 16M. However 16M is the maximum buffer size supported by buffer and as a result it does not really help here. For a chain like this a buffer size of at least 64M is required. Long time ago I wrote some primitive buffer implementation that works much better on this use case. So maybe I'm using the wrong tool here. What would be the right tool in this case? In the other case: Can you remove the limit on buffer sizes?
