Anyone know which are faster, TCP/IP 3.0 sockets or OS/2 Peer pipes?
We have an application which can use either equally easily, and are
wondering which one will yield better performance.  The messages sent
over these channels are small (average < 100 bytes), and traffic
isn't too heavy.  Response time is important, though, because it's an
XWindows-type setup where keystrokes are sent to an application
server, and that server sends graphical commands back.

Thanks for any help.
