Performance of Sockets vs. TCP/IP connections on localhost?
Hi all! Simple question: What is fastest when doing a connection to a local machine? TCP/IP or connecting via the socket? the application is a ACL helper program under Squid which makes a persistent connection to the database (100 parallel programs runs on the machine each connecting to the MySQL database) Regards -- Lasse Laursen · VP, Hosting Technology NetGroup Processing Aps Phone: +45 3370 1526 · Fax: +45 3313 0066 -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

In simple performance tests, it appears that named pipe access is between 30%-50% faster than the standard TCP/IP access.
