I've done some performance testing of D-Bus vs a simpler IPC message package. On average, the simplest test message that asks for a response in DBus takes almost 200 microseconds per call. In the simpler IPC socket based package, it's only 10 microseconds per round trip call. The upshot is that DBus is about 20X slower than a basic socket based client/server communication mechanism.
I'm worried that DBus will become an Orca performance bottleneck. Is there anything we can do about DBus? The reference implementation we use is 70K lines, and my vote would be a new implementation designed for performance.
