Obviously the comparison would tell nothing about the quality of the
implementations (because in 0mq there isn't much of implementation to
go aroung with anyway), but I can imagine IPC use cases where
programmer would naturally reach for dbus without needing all the
features provided by dbus (but suffering the non-optional performance
hit anyway).
