While there's no architectural limitation with regards of the number of transferred messages or their sizes, the code is not optimised and it would probably be very slow. + +We currently expect the system not to be at heavy load. Therefore, we +expect the daemon to keep up with clients sending messages. The +libraries write in blocking mode, which is no problem if the +expectation is true, as the write buffers will generally be empty and +the write wouldn't block, but if it turns out it is not the case, we +might need to reconsider.
