Does this also apply to non-127.0.0.1 ip's which are on the local host? (like 192.168.0.1 or even a public ip?) Anyway, some reading material suggests that unix domain sockets *are* (somewhat) faster. Ie: http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2009/11/realworld-benchmarking-of-keyvalue-stores.html http://osnet.cs.binghamton.edu/publications/TR-20070820.pdf .. but I still need to check the details.
