|     Description: Measures the speed of a pipe
| by sitting in the middle passing the data along to the next process.
| Pipebench shows the current throughput and amount of data going through a pipe.
| It can be used to show the progress of a large md5sum process for example.

Isn't this use case covered well by cpipe, pv and similar tools?
