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
com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:6136118136754  

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.
