Something to look in to.

• IPFS

I think it would be great if the module directly supported inserting buffers and reading them back as buffers.

We currently use stream-buffers at several points where we interact with this module. I could imagine that being built directly into the module.

Please let me know what you think. I'd happily send a PR bringing this into the module :)

I am using sbs for a http enabled blob store, and from version 3.0.9 to version 4.0.0 I have experienced a significant performance degradation. When I test creating 1000 small files with version 3.0.9, my code (including sbs) takes 12 seconds. With version 4.0.0, it takes 20 seconds, so somehow sbs is responsible for a 66% increase in total run time (which means that sbs by itself probably has an even worse performance degradation from 3.0.9 to 4.0.0).

Is there any ongoing work to improve performance and is there any knowledge about what the source of the degradation could be?
