I always liked the idea of moving to a shm or a local socket "clockd" interface. 

 (Under the hood, a UNIX domain socket or a 127/8 localhost socket is nothing more than merely a shm segment and two semiphore locks.)

A clockd interface was, in fact, part of the original plan.  Maybe make it the plan again?
