Are 3B1 "pipes" really slower than molasses?

[Mark Horton]

If slow pipes are really the problem, you could always use the
same workaround that systems without pipes use: disk files.
	foo | bar
can be emulated with
	foo > /tmp/foo.$$
	bar < /tmp/foo.$$
	rm /tmp/foo.$$

Of course, this assumes adequate disk space for the temp file.
