So our protocol stack is so cpu hungry compared to AF_UNIX that it's
unusable on low power devices?

I can't take you seriously if you say this after showing us the
thousands of lines of code you guys think we should add to the AF_UNIX
socket layer.

Because it doesn't have the handful of extra features you absolutely
require of it.

AF_UNIX is a complicated socket layer which is already extremely hard
to maintain. We're still finding bugs in it even after all these
years, and that's without adding major new functionality.
