[erlang-questions] exec-port crashing

[Serge Aleynikov]

Though this does depend on whether one is measuring throughput vs.
latency.  Generally, TCP would always be more latent than pipes on Linux
since pipes marshaling doesn't need to go through the TCP stack, which adds
penalty.  As you correctly observed, UNIX domain sockets, don't involve
that overhead, and have latency performance comparable to pipes, but
throughput better than pipes.
