... because the performance of cygwin's tcp implementation is more than twice as much as the unix domain implementation. I assume that this is caused by the additional security and emulation stuff overhead, which is needed to implement unix domain sockets on top of tcp sockets. See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg01719.html for further details. Ralf
