Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried it and also different 
variations like [1] to respect the initial logic
but I obtain poor performance compared to the initial one:

perf bench sched pipe
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

      Total time: 136.215 [sec]

      136.215229 usecs/op
            7341 ops/sec
