David, I suspect that pure sockets is still the fastest way to go for remote
clients. It's extra work, but hard to beat from an overhead standpoint.
Personally, I like the data queue approach because most of my work uses
servlets and the database tier and the presentation tier reside on the same
machine, whihc may negate some of the benefits of the socket approach.
I'd say that the best way to find out is simply to run some performance
tests.
