Yes, exactly.

|Mmmh. I know what a TCP port, but not what a UNIX-domain socket is.
It's another transport layer which acts quite like named pipes. Since
the entire TCP/IP overhead is saved, it is much faster. Also when
using the local display there is a possibility for heavy use of shared
memory to "transfer" bitmaps, which speeds things up too.
At least on my Debian "hamm" system, the unix-domain socket used by X11
is /tmp/.X11-unix/X0

I was aware of that, maybe you want to send a copy to the upstream
