EXPANDED TECHNICAL EXPLANATION

Zero-Copy I/O

For static delivery and proxy workloads, mechanisms such as sendfile or splice can reduce copy overhead in suitable paths. Zero-copy is not universally faster; each path should be benchmarked because encryption, transformation and buffering requirements can change the trade-off.

ENGINEERING NOTE

Ideas first. Evidence next.

Turbnix engineering claims should ultimately be validated with reproducible tests. Design goals, early observations and measured production results are kept distinct so the project can improve from evidence rather than assumptions.
