To what end, may I ask?  Per process statistics may include byte counts from a
few thousand threads that read and/or write from a few hundred descriptors.

Even per file descriptor statistics quickly get useless when one considers
that a single byte read may cause the read-ahead of a few thousand bytes or
that a single write may reach the corresponding device several seconds later.
