Actually this is true, but I've never used or looked at this feature. I've
only ever used dbus by communicating through a bus daemon. I'll do some
research on this to see if we can use it.

I'll do some research on this aswell.

I'll try and setup some experiments to measure this and see if it's
feasible.

And if all the above looks good I'll get started on this aswell!
I don't know how much time I'll have to work on all this but hopefully
I'll be
able to get back to you within the next couple of weeks with some results :)

That's completely understandable.

Silly mistake. I just hit 'reply' in thunderbird and thought that would
reply
to the list.
