Ok so why are you doing this via pipes ? Whatever happened to passing file handles. You set the tcp to block sending partial frames, you write the header pieces you can you fire the cgi up with the socket fd. Better yet since in the real world you dont use an exec every time cgi model (if you do then io-lite is the least of your worries) you pass the file handle with fd passing.
We have a mechanism for passing the data channel itself. Checksum caching is a seperate issue to this.
