This patch is an interesting benchmark tweak, but unlikely to ever make it into the mainline kernel. The kernel needs to be a general purpose system and deal with multiple types of hardware and resource control. But don't give up looking at performance. If you can find ways to speed up the overall socket buffer handling without breaking existing semantics; then the patches would be positively received. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
