Ditto, I haven't seen any benchmarks on such things in a *long* time
[ since magazines like "Sys-Admin Journal" and Workstation" went
belly-up;  there isn't much of a centralized placed for such things
anymore].

But I +1 the experience.  The POSIX IPC mechanisms tend to be extremely
high-performance (although not necessarily the applications built around
them).
