fastest way to send data between process on same computer on windows? I assume
sendmessage api faster than semaphore waiting, of course faster than TCP/IP
which will go through huge amounts of tcp/ip stack. I just want lowest
overhead on per call. Anyone have any experiences on
that?</FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
