Wait, but if you have, for example an HTTP API and you listen on a unix socket in for incoming requests, this is quite a lot of overhead in parsing HTTP headers. It is not much, but also cannot be the recommended solution on how to do network applications.

Replacing a TCP socket with a UNIX socket doesn't affect the amount of headers you have to parse.
