Description
When using tyger buffer write or tyger buffer read, our bandwidth is currently limited by our ability to read and write to pipes. This article has an excellent summary of the problems and how to overcome them on Linux. In short, we would gain a lot by using the splice/vmsplice system calls read/write to pipes.

Research direction
Start with the tyger buffer write and tyger buffer read entry points and read the linked fast-pipes article, focusing on Linux splice and vmsplice. Done means pipe I/O bandwidth is improved for these commands without changing their intended behavior.
