I said the throughput increases with with the payload size. But D-Bus wasn't 
meant to be a bulk data transport, but instead quick roundtrips.

For an RPC mechanism with structured arguments, topping off at 1000 calls per 
second sounds good to me. But the point is that you shouldn't design apps that 
need that many.

0.44 ms average round-trip then. Consider you should make one roundtrip only 
and get all the data you need.
