There is. It involves implementing DBus at least partly within the Linux
kernel. Several well respected kernel developers are working on it.

So, if you think inter-process communication is giving you performance
concerns now, you'll notice substantial improvements when this work is
integrated into the kernel and the corresponding libraries are updated.
