I'm sending printing jobs to a network printer (it's actually printing

Linux-2.6.24 will cause the printing to slow down to 1 print every 3
seconds after printing 500 times.

I bisected the kernel since the last known good 2.6.23 and zeroed in to this commit.

    [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix connection reopening


Reverting this commit solves the problem.

Version              1000 jobs
2.6.23                 90 sec
2.6.24              1,492 sec  <== with commit
2.6.24(patch)          90 sec  <== reverted the commit


Since the code has changed an can't simply revert the commit for the latest linux git download, I made a patch to revert the above commit. I've tested and it's working, but don't know if it breaks other things. Please review.

Thanks,
Jeff.
