It's not true that it is only worth paying attention to in a loop but I won't argue about it here. Suffice to say that it depends, in part, upon the ability of the program reading from the pipe to perform useful work while reading. There are plenty of programs that can. It seems that nft is not such a program, which I suppose makes sense. Anyway, if the performance of nft seems unusually bad for deletions, it could be bug material. -- Kerin Millar
