I think there's bound to be some impact. Let me try it with Hans' example.....
When I create a 100x100 grid it goes in 7 seconds via the transporters, but 3.8 seconds when it goes directly. Actually, switching the transformers to use a file instead of TCP/IP reduces the time to 4.7 seconds. But that's still a 25% overhead on a single transport. What worries me more is if this will even work when used within the same workspace. I know this example is OK, but the idea is that a receiver workspace is already running before the sender starts. If you have multiple links of this type within the same workspace I just wonder if two receivers each waiting for data could jam up the workspace and put it into an indefinite wait. I will find out, but I do know it wasn't designed for use in the same workspace.
