Thank you for benchmarking.

2.5x slower than what they were replacing. Demanding evidence for claims strikes again.

vsock isn't a replacement for TCP, because you can't assume that IP exists or is routable / not firewalled between the guest and the host.

Having said that, yes it also really ought to be faster. It's a decent, modern protocol so there's no particular reason for it, so with a bit of tuning somewhere it should be possible.
