Is anyone aware of throughput benchmarks / measurements for using a local unix socket for inter-process communication?  I want to illustrate the performance benefit of having a local database instance on the same server as the software that is requesting the data from the database vs. having to communicate over a network link, especially one like gigabit Ethernet which I expect to be rather slow relatively speaking.When searching online I found some benchmarks showing number of operations per second, but not throughput per second (i.e. 12GB/s).I understand that the performance will vary due to things such as perhaps memory throughput on a given system or other hardware characteristics, but just a rough idea is needed.This is not referring to local TCP performance or a comparison to that.
