A couple years ago I had an idea for changing the pipe implementation to avoid

I never followed up on it. But if you think it might help with this problem, I
could dust it off and try to finish it.

I'm not familiar enough with the innards of rsync, sshd or cygwin to know how
this would work.
Is it possible to have a new CYGWIN environment option to switch the pipe
behaviour without requiring changes to the ssh or rsync source code (and
without breaking any existing stuff)?
My proposed change would be purely internal to Cygwin. There should be no
user-visible change in behavior except, perhaps, improved performance. (And we
don't know yet whether there would be improved performance.) So I don't see a
need for a new CYGWIN option.
