I made some quick and dirty tests with socat and unix sockets, tcp over loopback and tcp over local network (real IP on eth0 on same machine) and see nearly no difference between loopback and unix socket. Only between loopback and local network is something measurable on the client side. So I switch back to loopback. Thanks Lars
