I'd be really interested in hearing the opinions of others on this - we are
thinking of implementing IPC on the recommendations of Informatica (our ETL
tool). We have a lot of network traffic due to the row-at-a-time processing
in informatica.

Informatica and Oracle are both on the same box.

Hi list, Sorry for starting two thread about the same, but I found 

Tom Kyte says "well, tuning TCP vs IPC would give you marginal improvements.

http://asktom.oracle

but Kenny Smith in Use IPC for local connections, a process can be up to 10x
faster
he says " I've seen a SQL job that runs in 10 minutes using TCP on a local
machine run as fast as one minute using an IPC connection"
But http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142
sid41_gci940662,00.html
 
So I think the question is not is why ipc is not faster, else is IPC really
faster.
Some experiences please.
