sendfile function is not just a more efficient version of a read
followed by a write. It reads from one fd and write to another at tha
same time. Please try to read 2G, and then write 2G - and how much
memory you will be need and how much time you will loose while reading
2G from disk, but not writing them to socket. If you know more
efficient method to transfer file from disk to network - please advise.
Now all I want is really non-blocking sendfile. Currently sendfile is
non-blocking on network, but not on disk i/o. And when I have network
faster than disk - I get block.

Thank you,
Alex
