Acho que (da forma tradicional) usar cachimbo é um pouco mais rápido; na minha caixa eu useistrace

Você pode fazer alguns testes strace
e time
comandos com mais e mais comandos para um bom benchmarking.
cat
é um tubo de identidade . Ele apenas transmite sua entrada para sua saída. Se o segundo programa na cadeia pode obter sua entrada do mesmo argumento que você passoucat
(ou da entrada padrão, se você não passar nenhum argumento), entãocat
é absolutamente inútil e apenas resulta em um processo adicional sendo bifurcado e um canal adicional sendo criada.
