I think this may only apply to larger files, and some old benchmarks I saw showed it was actualy slower for smaller files. Not that this isn't important, but it's not the second coming... :-) For sendfile() to work we need to figure out the new driver callback interface so we can add a Sendfile() callback. Otherwise, large file downloads will break with SSL and other socket drivers. There's stuff about the driver interface in the archives...
