FYI, named pipes are not "surprisingly slow" on OS X after all. Turns out that 
I had so completely saturated CPU & cache in my performance testing that adding 
a little bit of IPC pushed things over the edge... (I was running with some 
cores turned off in order to roughly simulate lower-end Macs.)

So that wasn't the problem, so I don't really need to share descriptors between 
processes, nor use domain sockets, nor go off into the weeds experimenting with 
mach ports or shared memory.

But interesting discussion anyway ;-)
