I think that’s a good idea, thanks. Are you suggesting to read and
parse in the main thread (the uid as well as other info is known after
parsing)? Or we can do the read() and pass the buffer for the child to
parse. Instead of doing conditioned wait the main thread need to do a
bit more work --read + memory allocation. Right now child thread has
static memory for the read buffer. With a pool of threads I think we’d
need to do the read in the main thread anyway.
