Which areas does the performance not meet your needs? There are a lot of aspects to libprocess that can be optimized, so it would be good to focus on each of your particular use cases via benchmarks, this allows us to have a shared way to profile and measure improvements.
Copy elimination is one area where a lot of improvement can be made across libprocess, note that libprocess was implemented before we had C++11 move support available. We've recently made some improvements to update the HTTP serving path towards zero-copies but it's not completely done. Can you submit patches for the ProcessBase::send() path copy elimination? We can have a move overload for ProcessBase::send and have ProtobufProcess::send() and encode() perform moves instead of a copy. With respect to the MessageEncoder, since it's less trivial, you can submit a benchmark that captures the use case you care about and we can drive improvements using it. I have some suggestions here as well but we can discuss once we have the benchmarks committed. How does that sound to start?
