As long as we're talking about the positives or negatives of SysV STREAMS ...
how come I've seen many things that say STREAMS are slow?  For one example,
Van Jacobson's Usenix paper on BPF doesn't come out and say "STREAMS blow
goats", but he almost does :-) (Okay, I'll be the first to admit that Van
has his biases, but still ...)
