On Unix platforms, there is a Unix domain socket transport, which is
significantly faster than the TCP loopback.

There is no shared memory transport. Previous experiments with that
showed that the signalling overhead affected performance to the extent
that it was not noticeably better than Unix sockets or TCP.
