You are doing it all wrong.
Here is the program I use.

#include <malloc.h>

int main(argc, argv)
    char **argv;
{
    char *ptr;
    int i, l = argc > 1 ? atoi(argv[1]) : 1;

    if(ptr = malloc(l))
    {
	while((i = read(0, ptr, l)) && i != -1)
	    write(1, ptr, l);
    }

    return 0;
}

It takes one argument. "1" being the slowest and the bigger the faster.
