 From a performance perspective they are. At least from the work I've 
done. We had to drop named pipes solely because of the performance hit 
because it is writing to a file system so it's being controlled by the 
file system, even if that file system is in memory. Anonymous (unnamed) 
pipes seem to be different. Maybe it's the differences between how FIFO 
works with named pipes over the regular pipes. I don't know, but we've 
never been able to get named pipes to be 1:1 performance with unnamed pipes.

My best guess is that since unnamed pipes are not written to a file 
system, it has a small performance advantage over named pipes. I deal 
with large data streams that have very very small TTL's on them (in come 
cases only a couple ms) so if a pipe takes too long it will get bogged 
down and won't keep up. So it might be specific to the uses we have at 
work. In probably 90% of everyone else's uses it's probably not noticeable.

As the demand grows, we are actually at the limits of performance that 
even unnamed pipes gives us. So we are starting to migrate to UNIX 
sockets which has about double to bandwidth and performance of pipes.
