Just to pile on: I admire your bravery! I'll add to the other comments only by saying that _before_ you start down this path, you really need to articulate the benefit/cost analysis. "to gain a little more communications efficiency" will be a pretty hard sell due to the reasons Shawn outlined. This is hugely risky and would require a lot of work for as-yet-unarticulated benefits.
There are lots and lots of other things to work on of significantly greater impact IMO. How would you like to work on something to help manage Solr's memory usage for instance ;)?
