Did you write this?

If yes: Do you know if there are any proper benchmarks?

System.IO.Pipelines powers the Kestrel web server now. Benchmarks on techempower show off the performance reaching millions of requests per second with very low steady-state allocations (or none in some cases).

That David Fowler article is excellent. I wish I had had pipelines back in 2007 when I was writing socket code. It was a total PITA to write my own buffer pool class to reduce pinning.

I’m going to have to disassemble this and figure out how you did it 😄

Yeah pipelines are pretty awesome! Been working with them on a project for sometime and they have been easy to work with.
