Unix sockets are often slower than TCP over loopback because they use much smaller socket sizes by default. This causes much more context switches. Just run a vmstat 1 in parallel and watch the context switch rates. You can fix it by increasing the send and receive buffers of the unix socket. -Andi - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
