The first non-StackOverflow link I get is https://blog.myhro.info/2017/01/how-fast-are-unix-domain-sockets which is a reasonable explanation with demo code.The simplest explanation is that TCP/IP's encapsulation of data, the whole acknowledgment, re-transmittal, and out-of-order handling functionality of TCP, and the mandatory division of data into small chunks all add overhead which you do not have with a Unix-domain socket.
