Folks,

Inter Process Plugin is only used for performance tuning or is there any other specific advantage of having this plug-in

Thanks,

IPC was added to explicitly allow a job to be split into several processes for performance purposes.

Read Chapter 2 of the Parallel Job Developer's Guide (parjdev.pdf), particularly the section on pipeline parallelism.

This is what the IPC stage, or enabling inter-process row buffering, can achieve in server jobs.

The gains aren't great, however, if you only have a single CPU.
