You can get many of the benefits of using a memory buffer in the
output
filter chain very cheaply by increasing SendBufferSize, without the
extra overhead of an extra filter.
This won't help you when you have many small file buckets, which is
what you get when you put a forest of mod_include directives into a
file. Each of the (in our worst case 500 or so) file buckets is
happily sent out using SENDFILE, one after the other, in tiny chunks
on the wire. This same problem can occur in any dynamic application
doing a lot of small writes.
