Why is IPC communication so slow?

[tony]

I use Ipcserverchannel class and Ipcclientchannel to do IPC. I try to
read a file to memory using process A and then use IPC to transport
it
to process B. However, IPC use nearly as much time as from a from
disk, which is very surprising ( I expect it to be much much faster).
What could possibly be the problem?

Part of my code:


Server:
IpcServerChannel serverChannel = new
IpcServerChannel("remote");
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(serverChannel);


// Expose an object


RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(typeof(SharedCache),
"myObj", WellKnownObjectMode.Singleton);


Client:
clientChannel = new IpcClientChannel();
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(clientChannel);


RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownClientType(typeof(SharedObj),
"ipc://remote/myObj");


ShareObj is the shared remoting object which can reading the file
from
the disk and transport the file to the client process.
