Depending on the kernel, you may find Unix sockets to be less performant than localhost TCP. The dominant effect on performance comes from getting the network out of the picture. Beyond that, I've often found that unix-domain I/O stacks don't seem to be as well-tuned as TCP stacks are. And use localhost/tcp instead of an IP address on a network interface. On most kernels, that saves you a trip through the network interface driver.
