Hmmm, the actual network performance would depend on lots of things (and
be the subject of eternal holy wars) but UDP should be a win from the
point of view of the the server not having to keep protocol state and
transmission buffers. I wonder if anyone is working on a FSP-like
transport protocol for HTTP ...
