Yes, the overhead is mostly the shm transport. A fully transparent
implementation would be cool, but is not trivial. It would be great to have a
let call it ProxyBin. It would register proxy gobject for each element (unless
they have been already registered). It would need to launch the actual elements
in a new process and establishing the proxy links between each of the elements.
Might become complicated when done recursively. Ideally it could use
libdataprotocol to marshal buffers, events, queries and messages.

This could be a great GSoC project for next summer.
