Description
Users regularly come to the /r/rust subreddit looking for help when their Rust code doesn't perform as well as they expect. The second most common culprit (after debug vs release build) is doing unbuffered small reads from a file.
I'm wondering if there's anything we could do to help users catch or avert this more easily.
