This email was missing a bit of context; it's a reply to the thread
I just started about profiling D-Bus, following some IRC discussion, and
giving some numbers for (one) real-world use of D-Bus. The ratios
between, for instance, messages to the bus daemon and messages to peers
affect which bits it makes sense to try to optimize, either in dbus-daemon
or by replacing them with kdbus.

(Telepathy doesn't block on D-Bus calls, apart from a few calls to the bus
daemon.)
