i couldn't resist reproducing on bare metal linux (8th gen core i5, ubuntu 22.04):

  cargo run --release -- -n 1000000 --method unixstream
  cargo run --release -- -n 1000000 --method tcp

~9μs/op for unixstream, ~14μs/op for TCP.

unixstream utilizes two cores at ~78% each core, tcp only utilizes ~58% of each core. so there is also something wrong in the benchmarks where blocking is happening and cores are not being fully utilized.

Our prod env is comprised of cloud VMs so tried to replicate that. Have some benchmarks from prod env, will share those.
