Unix sockets might be a little faster, and probably more importantly they provide reliable delivery (unlike UDP). But your comment about speed, and the idea that UDP as a protocol is preventing you from posting 30 updates per second to a GUI makes me think that the problem is not in the choice of protocol at all, but somewhere else. In other words, I think Unix sockets will be faster than UDP, but I doubt they will solve your actual problem.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
