Very nice, thanks.  Any chance you can bump those message sizes up to
over 512k?  I think that will show a huge difference.  Even just under
512k should be faster, as you have shown, but I have been told that for
messages larger than 512k, the D-Bus daemon has "issues", which has kept
people from wanting to use messages that large before now.

thanks again,
