Hi,
You can efficiently use Sockets for this type of communication between
processes running on the same machine. Just be sure that the Socket
connections use "localhost" as the name of host. All the OSes that I am
familiar with (WinNT, Win95, Linux, BSD) implement localhost socket
connections using memory. Thus, "localhost" connections are much faster and
more efficient than other socket connections.
