Sure.

I'm not an expert either, but yes, I guess DGRAM sockets should be faster. The only problem we have with DGRAM sockets is being notified when the other end closes the connection, which is not a frequent operation, so maybe we can continue using DGRAM sockets and add a new message only for unix ports to notify when the connection is closed.
