Description:

Patch for CMD.EXE to use reasonable large pipe buffers. This patch will increase the pipe buffer size of pipes instantiated with the pipe operator | of CMD.EXE from 512 bytes to 65024 bytes (by default). This will significantly improve the throughput and reduce the CPU load. In fact it reduces the minimum number of task switches per megabyte from 4096 to about 33. (pipepatch.zip)
