I would think that cleaning cashe between runs of setbuf in your while ... done loop is important, as repeatative reads most likely would resuse cashe pages. I would insert a line , such as
wc -c some_big_files*here > /dev/null
after the setbuf line, so the cashe is overwritten and setbuf program will actually read the file from the disk, not from cashe.

setvbuf
setbuf(3C) Standard C Library Functions setbuf(3C)
NAME
setbuf, setvbuf - assign buffering to a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
void setbuf(FILE *stream, char *buf);
int setvbuf(FILE *stream, char *buf, int type, size_t size);
DESCRIPTION
The setbuf() function may be used after the stream pointed to by stream (see Intro(3)) is opened but before it is read or written. It
causes the array pointed to by buf to be used instead of an automatically allocated buffer. If buf is the null pointer, input/output will
be completely unbuffered. The constant BUFSIZ, defined in the <stdio.h> header, indicates the size of the array pointed to by buf.
The setvbuf() function may be used after a stream is opened but before it is read or written. The type argument determines how stream
will be buffered. Legal values for type (defined in <stdio.h>) are:
_IOFBF Input/output to be fully buffered.
_IOLBF Output to be line buffered; the buffer will be flushed when a NEWLINE is written, the buffer is full, or input is requested.
_IONBF Input/output to be completely unbuffered.
If buf is not the null pointer, the array it points to will be used for buffering, instead of an automatically allocated buffer. The size
argument specifies the size of the buffer to be used. If input/output is unbuffered, buf and size are ignored.
For a further discussion of buffering, see stdio(3C).
RETURN VALUES
If an illegal value for type is provided, setvbuf() returns a non-zero value. Otherwise, it returns 0.
USAGE
A common source of error is allocating buffer space as an "automatic" variable in a code block, and then failing to close the stream in the
same block.
When using setbuf(), buf should always be sized using BUFSIZ. If the array pointed to by buf is larger than BUFSIZ, a portion of buf will
not be used. If buf is smaller than BUFSIZ, other memory may be unexpectedly overwritten.
Parts of buf will be used for internal bookkeeping of the stream and, therefore, buf will contain less than size bytes when full. It is
recommended that stdio(3C) be used to handle buffer allocation when using setvbuf().
