I don't have any answer to this problem yet. >Also, is there any way to communicate locally instead via unix sockets >(the FAQ gives a benchmark listing of local and socket comms)? Unix-domain sockets *are* local. For 386bsd, it is the only local connection type available. The others in the FAQ are for SYSV -- where there are a few different streams-based local connection types available. Even for SYSV the Unix-domain sockets (when available) seem to be the quickest local connection type.
