[Openmcl-devel] OpenMCL / Cocoa

[Samantha Atkins]

It is not a bad idea at all.  GUI's interact with their data/ 
computational models relatively slowly.  Sockets should be more than  
fast enough to handle this traffic, especially on the same box.  App  
to database traffic commonly goes over a socket (often not even on  
the same box) and that is much higher bandwidth than you need to  
support your separate process GUI.
