Yes, I suppose it would. I'll put it on my list, but so many other
things to do :-(

Well, in terms of the FIFO I/O, they're pretty-darned efficient in
Linux, at least as efficient as disk I/O,
although since FIFOs (named pipes) are implemented in kernel memory,
they're typically a lot
faster.

I've never needed the XMLRPC stuff to "go real fast", since I typically
use it to modify flow-graph
parameters that change infrequently. One of the things I use it for
in one of my applications that I
did for a customer is for active RFI excision for a science
application. The flow-graph produces
a spectral estimate which is sent over a FIFO to an external program
that analyses the spectrum, and
then, if necessary, sends back parameters for a multi-notch filter
into the flow-graph.
