About:
bfr maintains a buffer of data collected from stdin, emitting the data to stdout. It will both read and write at the speed each stream can handle, and allows you to set thresholds of when to start outputting and inputting again (after reaching a full buffer), the size of the buffer, as well as monitor content/throughput with an optional progress-bar. It also includes bfp, a variant especially written to play audio data using /dev/dsp.

Makes a *huge* difference in performance...
by Charles Duffy - Feb 13th 2004 15:32:57
...of my installation scripts (reading tarballs off NFS, decompressing them
and extracting the contents onto the hard drive -- added a buffer between
all three steps, using pv to view where in the process each component is
at). Dropped total runtime by more than 2x -- *much* more. Very good
stuff.
(One thing I noticed -- the online usage text is more up-to-date than the
man page, which missed some of the new features).
