I haven't done any measurements, it would be interesting. I've been
working on a unix domain transport, which should generally be faster (and
probably lower lantency), but wont be network transparent of course.
Once unix domain works, TCP would be the next target, as that guarantees
that the messages arrive in the right order and so on, but is slower than
the normal UDP, and not as widely supported as unix domain and UDP.
