You're going to have way more overhead with TCP sockets. I think that
using kernel-based IPC (like message ports) is definitely the way to
go. Besides, since you are going to be passing data between
processes, they are going to be on the same machine (probably), so
there's no need for TCP. You may also want to consider using threads,
and just have them access the same data structures.
