yup, that's what i also think. is it possible that nagle+delayed-ack
is causing the perceived slow-down ?

frankly it is not wise to disable nagle, and the solution i proposed
(using netfilter extension) is really too tedious - the added overhead
may slow down the processing, even though disabling nagle aims to
improve latencies. ? but modern network card is so fast, that the
bottleneck is not at the network card side, but more likely in the
network gateway, or router side - so u are definitely not going to see
improvement in spite of all the troubles.
