Have you looked at the MIT shared memory extension?  It is undocumented
(except in a recent post by Jonathan Corbet, corbet@stout.atd.ucar.edu,
in message-id 9010111941.AA00341@mead.atd.ucar.edu), but the source is on
the R4 tape under mit/extensions.  It seems to be just what is needed
for image processing (except, of course, that it only works when both
client and server are on the same machine). ... rb (uunet!erik!rbrown)
