Hello, the FreeBSD TCP/IP stack uses the "system tick timer" for some delay (maybe only for TCP). you may want to use a HZ=1000 option (see the LINT config file) in a recompiled kernel and see if things go better. (moreover, the dc(4) driver which is used for your NIC has some interesting perfor

I've performed a routing test between a FreeBSD box and a Linux box. I measured the latency and the result was not what I had expected. Both systems had the peak at 100 us (microseconds), but whereas the Linux box had _no_ packet over 200 us, the FreeBSD box delayed some packets up to 2 ms! Lookin
