interesting. you can certainly layer beep on top of a messaging  
passing api, providing it gives you ordered, reliable delivery.  
presumably, you wouldn't need any flow management for the channels.  
so, this leaves the performance issue down to using the default  
content-transfer-encoding when moving data.
