Description
A couple of years ago @tidoust and @dontcallmedom hosted a session on zero-copy for which the slides are available here: https://www.w3.org/2020/Talks/TPAC/unconference/zerocopy.pdf
Near the end there's a number of threads referenced of where the web might benefit from zero-copy. I think it would benefit the explainer if it detailed how it would help in those cases.

Research direction
Start with the explainer and the linked zero-copy slides at https://www.w3.org/2020/Talks/TPAC/unconference/zerocopy.pdf. Review the referenced threads near the end of the slides and document how zero-copy could help each relevant web use case. Done means the explainer covers those cases with clear, specific benefits.
