@alwayscurious@infosec.exchange Yes, if you're trying to run a business with millions of concurrent users efficiently rather than just paying AWS obscene amounts of money and passing on the cost to your customers.
For any ordinary desktop or server applications though? No, it's useless premature optimization, and now known to be extremely unsafe in how it's implemented.

@dalias@hachyderm.io @alwayscurious@infosec.exchange splice is the only zero-copy mechanism available to normal users. I would hate to disable it. I'd rather disable the kernel modules one by one (for now, only relatively obscure stuff has been revealed to be broken; this may change in the future).
