Your previously stated use case sounds like a good fit. I can easily
imagine sendfile() implementations starving other network operations,
though (and IIRC linux's early sendfile() implementation did so).
It's essentially an optimization specific to web servers.
Isn't it superseeded by splice(2) nowadays?
Most Unixen have some version of sendfile(); how portable is
splice()? (Of course, there could be a system-dependent mapping; one
is needed for Windows already.)
