Comment #4 on issue 1199 by percival.music.ca: lilypond telnet server http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1199
This isn't about telnet; it's about having a "persistent" lilypond with guile loaded in memory. This eliminates about 0.5 seconds from every time you run lilypond. It just so happens that this implementation uses netcat and telnet, rather than local pipes or sockets or all the other ways of inter-process communication.
Now, if you're compiling a big score that takes 30 seconds, then saving 0.5 seconds isn't significant. But if you're compiling 200 one-line files that each take 0.75 seconds, then saving 0.5 is a *huge* benefit.
