Dans le livre mentionné en titre est écrit ceci :
Up to Linux 2.6.10, each pipe had just one pipe buffer. In the 2.6.11 kernel, however, data buffering for pipes (and FIFOs) has been easily revised, and now each pipe makes use of 16 pipe buffers. This change greatly enhances the performance of User Mode applications that write large chunks of data in a pipe.
