Why would using embedded achive top performance? Because
it doesn't use the network protocol? If so, then I've got some bad
news for you --

a non-networked connection will block all other (networked)
connections.

In short, if you want to access the server from both the local
client and remote clients, then you should use a remote connection
for all.
