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).
