Thanks Christiaan,

I need to clarify that Im using Xilinx Micro Kernel and using the MAC in
Interrupt Mode so the acutaly contrib file Im after is
Xemacif_intr_xmk.c.  (I believe this is copied and renamed as xemacif.c
during the libgen process).

My device implements a web site very similar to that of a residential
gateway device, however the device does not rely on the network connection
for any serious amounts of data transfer.  

In your opinion, would I be better looking at using the RAW_API?

Many Thanks
Lachlan.

The authorative source is the contrib/ports/v2pro/netif/xemacif.c.
If that file is broken, we want to fix it there. I can have a quick peek,
but I can't guarantee it gets fixed. (I don't have the Xilinx development
environment)

I know the sequential / socket API performs slow and has some unclear bugs
and design flaws.
See also http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15926

What I can tell fore sure this code is slow because there are too many
thread synchronisation waitstates.

When using the lower level raw-API, the achievable performance levels are
much better. Some users have implemented and alternative socket layer on top
of the raw-API.
