It really does not.  As I mentioned in a previous post the problem is
that you can fill the system queue that you are using between
components (or the tcp/ip queue) and your application will block.
Oneway or no one way, this will happen.

This might not be noticeable for methods like ref/unref, but you will
definetly notice it on a trasnfer_big_chunk_of_data() kind of
methods.  So oneway here is also approaching uselessness very
rapidly.
