Oh, I thought you had to hold a mutex just like on cond_wait.
I guess I just got in that habit writing semaphores with counters.
So that clears up all my concerns about that.

The other thing, is that if you are doing throughput processing, not doing
it in the IOProc causes an extra buffer of latency, correct? Because you
then must have the output ready when the IOProc runs, but you don't have the
input yet. So you must operate on the previous buffer of input.
