Hello,
Please post your "polling stats and userland benchmarking" results. I
would be very interested seeing them as I was thinking of moving to
NICs that would benefit from polling. However, because you have
"EVIDENCE ... to the contrary", I may hold off. On the other hand, you
do go on to say "there is no way to measure the performance" and "you
are as blind as a bat in your assessments", so also please post your
test methodology. I need to make my decision on reliable, repeatable
facts.
Also, when you post, would you please wrap your lines to a shorter
length? Not everyone on the list uses AOL Reader, like you.
Regards,
Stheg
