Don't be fooled. R does not handle multiple requests in parallel
internally. Also I suspect that, depending on what you do on the CLI,
this will interact badly with svSocket. 

As far as binary transfer of R objects goes, you are probably looking
for serialize() and unserialize(). Not sure if these are guaranteed to
work across differen versions of R and different word sizes. See the
Warnings section in the serialize manual page.

Cheers
Olaf
