This one is not exactly "buffer" as shown in the two links. It uses a custom structure data type instead of []byte, to avoid conversion between actual data and []byte (marshaling) or type assertion (conversion from/to interface{}). Check https://github.com/songgao/bufferManager.go/blob/master/buffered/data.go https://github.com/songgao/bufferManager.go/blob/master/buff... , inside Data there can be anything. The internal implementation is closer to `bufferpool` (2nd one) though, since they both use a channel as the pool. As to performance in GO 1.1, I did try it with this implementation but have not updated result to Github. The speedup is similar. You could simply clone the repo and run `run_test.sh` yourself :-)
