Hello All,
I'm quite interested in Plan 9, but I have a brief question...
has anyone done any benchmarking of plan 9 vs. UNIX/Linux systems?
Specifically, are UNIX pipes significantly faster/slower than the
plumber system of plan 9? I've looked around for some information on
this, but haven't been too successful...
Thanks,
David Donovan

The plumber and pipes are two different concepts.
Plan 9's closest analogue to Unix's pipes is, well,
its pipes. http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/3/pipe
I suspect they're about the same speed -- pipes are memmove
bound anyway.
