Basically you're proposing building one bigger buffer for writing rather 
than doing several smaller writes?

My experience would say no: memcpy()s should be avoided whenever 
possible.  Admittedly my experience does not include a lot of file I/O 
but I would think/hope the OS would do a good job of buffering smaller 
writes into larger I/Os.

Another way to solve the many-small-writes problem (if it is a problem) 
would be to use writev().
