It was partially implemented, but the implementation wasn't stable
enough and the development of XNET only started late in the beta
stage(but never got included in a release). And, other bug fixes and
more important features had to be completed first. Now, that FB 1.5 is
in release candidate stage, no new features are being implemented.
Apparently it is faster than IPC, I don't remember by how much,
though.
