Re: Daemonizing CRM114 using FIFO

Ah, I forgot: given how CRM114 works internally, and assuming your
messages are relatively large, i.e. bigger than a hundred bytes on
average, I'd go with the length+content solution, because that would
prevent CRM114 from having to perform an unknown number of 'unescape'
operations on your message content.

Since CRM114 only starts to act on the input once it is closed (i.e.
when CRM114 receives an End Of File signal), the fastest possible
operation would be that, combined with the use of 'batches', i.e.
merging multiple messages in a single open+write+close FIFO session,
while staying within the maximum data buffer size limits of CRM114
itself (which are > 1MB by default IIRC). That would mean your

result.txt

will end up containing the answers for all the messages in such a
'batch', though a bit of encoding/decoding may be required on that
side as well.
