It's pretty funny that they assumed that memory copying was the limiting factor when they're pushing a mere 150MB/s around instead of the various websocket overheads, then jumped right into over-engineering a zero copy ring buffer. I get it, but come on!

>50 GB/s of memory bandwidth is common nowadays[1], and will basically never be the bottleneck for 1080P encoding. Zero copy matters when you're doing something exotic, like Netflix pushing dozens of GB/s from a CDN node.
