Ahh, I see. I thought the intent was to read from a file locally. If
you're receiving data from a socket, having a circular buffer makes a
lot more sense. Thanks for the clarification. Of course, a circular
buffer works pretty well for reading local files too, though I'd
consider its primary intent would be better suited for receiving data
from the network.
Although I haven't tested with network sockets, the circular buffer I
implemented for iopipe
(http://schveiguy.github.io/iopipe/iopipe/buffer/RingBuffer.html) didn't
have any significant improvement over a buffer that moves the data still
in the buffer.
