It looks that for functions as simple as that the RPC overhead should be pretty small, or it will eclipse the time / resources spent by the actual business logic.

E.g. I can't think of a REST service doing this; something like a direct socket connection (over a HA / load-balancing level) with a zero-copy serialization format like Cap'nProto might work.
