File IO _expensive_ in 2022? What do you mean exactly? What sort of
computer and disks are you referring to? Surely lilypond processing
completely dominates any IO it does?

Hello,
I'm using lilypond to programmatically generate sheet music. I already
have a system in place to crop the SVGs, but now I need to load them
in my software. I could use the default behavior of letting lilypond
write to some file, and then reading it, but file I/O tends to be
pretty expensive, especially when you're doing it in bulk like I am,
so I'd like to avoid that.
