Hello all,

I have been extensively testing OpenVPN recently, for potential deployment with 
some other systems I have been developing. One thing I have noticed during this 
testing is that performance of Windows clients connected to a Linux server is 
significantly slower than the performance of Linux clients with identical 
configurations.

I'm suspecting that it's either the Windows network stack itself (seems a 
little doubtful) or the Windows implementation of the TAP driver that is 
causing the poor performance. I'm hoping I can profile the TAP driver code to 
see if I can confirm the latter (and maybe contribute some optimizations if it 
all works out).

Has anyone here ever tried profiling the Windows TAP driver code before? Any 
pointers or suggestions from someone who is familiar with the TAP driver would 
be really appreciated.

Thanks,
