UNIX domain sockets vs FIFOs

Is there a performance advantage of one of these over the other? Obviously, it makes no sense to use normal TCP sockets or UDP sockets w/ the overhead they carry. But what about UNIX domain sockets vs FIFOs? I'd think they'd be very similar, in terms of performance and in terms of how they're manipulated.

I plan on doing non-blocking I/O on these and using select to decide when to read an interface.

Thanks,

Matt Gessner
