Interestingly enough, my unscientific testing has not yet shown a huge
benefit for the unix domain sockets over local TCP/IP.   I'm sure there are
big benefits as they are widely reported and the reason unix domain sockets
persist.....  but I've not YET found the exemplar traffic to make them a
no-brainer choice.  Only an incremental improvement if you are offloading
the TLS anyway.
