It's a fairly natural model. It was really first introduced around 1970 in UNIX... it's called the "pipe". Even on a single-core system it provides a significant performance improvement for a large class of problems where I/O and throughput matter. Of course as multi-CPU UNIX servers became common in the '80s and the norm in the '90s it just got better and better. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
