This is configurable.  By default we use 2 connections.  The second
connection is only used for "raw" output to Emacs; it's a pure
performance optimization.  If you set *use-dedicated-output-stream* to
nil (e.g., in your .swank.lisp), SLIME uses only a single connection.

This message http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel/254
contains some code to do that, but it's not yet integrated in the CVS
version.

I'd like to note, that interrupting a remote Lisp will not work,
because we use Unix signals for this.  Proposals how we could
interrupt a remote Lisp are most welcome.

Helmut.
