And quite honestly, if disk performance were dependent on user-land C buffering schemes, C runtime writers would pay more attention to the C buffering scheme and make sure it performs well!
Actually, this has been a common oversight of C runtime writers. My compiler was able to consistently beat others in I/O back in the 80's because I used a better buffering scheme in the runtime.
It's not the only anecdote I have about that, either.
