Yes, absolutely. I use KDB to get billions-of-transactions-per-second, but then an interpreted language is clearly better than the JVM.
Put grossly, the "technique" isn't well defined; Even things like "message" aren't well defined, and at the end of the day, are we really talking about a new-and-improved memcpy[1]? Or are we talking about something that's less-slow than other things (and if so, what?)
Not saying this isn't interesting, just that I don't know if it's interesting. Something I want to know is when Java programmers struggle to get into 200k/sec HTTP requests, can I point them at this?
A more timeless metric would be something like "30-instruction message-passing on x86"
