Berkeley first fixed stdio to perform the buffering scheme that you
propose.  We have also incorporated a similar scheme here at BBN.
(It was before I arrived, so I don't know whether it was an original
piece or derived from Berkeley.)

Everything you say is true regarding STDIO efficiency, ESPECIALLY
when it comes to ARPAnet connections.
