As far as I know O_NONBLOCK/O_NDELAY on regular files only
prevents blocking on mandatory locks. Atleast that's how I
interpret Solaris's manual page, and my test program indicates
so too. How can double-buffering be done without non-blocking
I/O?
However you are probably right, one thread per physical device
is enough. Doubling thread count was just a guess.
