Realized the bottleneck would be the pipe between dd and nc, so wrote
a program to connect to /tmp/socket and spew data at it -- it sends
46950 212992-byte buffers (9999974400 bytes) in 2.41 seconds.
(4149366971 bytes/second, or 4.1GB/s).

(The default "MTU" for a Linux Unix socket connection
is 212992 bytes.  Default pipe size is 8*512 bytes.)
