Again I don't see how existing D-Bus client code would benefit from that.

From what I've seen now, the old AF_BUS (AF_DBUS?) patches might be closest to what I have in mind but those have been buried for so long that they can probably no longer be used (I got the the kdbus kmod from systemd to build against a *4.14* kernel, and had to reboot after trying to test it).


Part of my interest comes from the fact that I tend to work on old/cheap/underdimensioned systems that I probably ask a bit much of. There are times where a heavy dbus client like kmail becomes very sluggish, waiting for something that probably involves dbus communication while there isn't a clear CPU hogger.
I noticed that the dbus-daemon has a single-threaded design and cannot help but wonder if that's still by definition the best approach these days.
