No strong preference, but if the kernel keeps track of things for you it 
seems folly to reimplement it in user-space :-)

Whatever counters the kernel keep to make SEEK_CUR work it will still do 
disregarding if we use it or not. So the only efficiency gain would be 
if we read it often and modified it a seldom, in that case I rather just 
cache SEEK_CUR and refresh it each time we to a write() or read().
