In the abstract, I like the notion that a better real-time response allows
finer grained transactions.  I can see how moving to UDP helps in the
expected case, and maybe optimizing the expected case is sufficient for
most.  However if true real-time behavior is required, don't you need a
connection oriented protocol to ensure QoS?
