SubjectRe: Efficient IPC mechanism on Linux

I could do it only if there was an effective reason to do it.
And there isn't.

They have just posted me a message with pipe latency under kernel 2.4.
And it is exactly the same (apart some minor variations in misurements
that are natural enough).

I consider my work finished.
I studied an efficient IPC mechanism and I tried to implement it
on an existing Operating System.

I tried some other IPC primitives in benchmark tests
and reported the comparisons between completion times.

I got my goal.

I'm not a kernel developer. Ask Linus Torvalds.
