How efficient is DCE RPC?
Performance testing at several user organizations has shown that DCE RPC performance is similiar to other RPC implementations when doing the same things. The throughput and response times for a series of remote procedure calls is similiar. The use of features in DCE not present in other implementations may consume additional time and resources. For example, name-based binding may required additional time, depending on the number of directories traversed. Using the packet integrity and packet privacy features of the security service can increase processing times as a linear function of message sizes.
