Added, 1 vs 2/3/4 clients isn't very interesting, so to keep it short
here are numbers for 2 clients to /dev/null and localhost.

Sending to /dev/null

ml370:/data # ./splice-bench -n2 -l10 -a -s -z file
Waiting for clients
Client1 (splice): 19030 MiB/sec (10240MiB in 551 msecs)
Client0 (splice): 18961 MiB/sec (10240MiB in 553 msecs)
Client1 (mmap): 158875 MiB/sec (10240MiB in 66 msecs)
Client0 (mmap): 158875 MiB/sec (10240MiB in 66 msecs)
Client1 (rw): 1691 MiB/sec (10240MiB in 6200 msecs)
Client0 (rw): 1690 MiB/sec (10240MiB in 6201 msecs)

Sending/receiving over lo

ml370:/data # ./splice-bench -n2 -l10 -a -s file
Waiting for clients
Client0 (splice): 3007 MiB/sec (10240MiB in 3486 msecs)
Client1 (splice): 3003 MiB/sec (10240MiB in 3491 msecs)
Client0 (mmap): 555 MiB/sec (8192MiB in 15094 msecs)
Client1 (mmap): 580 MiB/sec (9216MiB in 16257 msecs)
Client0 (rw): 538 MiB/sec (8192MiB in 15573 msecs)
Client1 (rw): 541 MiB/sec (8192MiB in 15498 msecs)
