No, no.  Bad Martin!  Throughput didn't drop, "Specweb compliance" 
dropped.   Those are two very, very different things.  I've found 
that the server can produce a lot more throughput, although it 
doesn't have the characteristics that Specweb considers compliant.  
Just have Troy enable mod-status and look at the throughput that 
Apache tells you that it is giving during a run.  _That_ is real
throughput, not number of compliant connections.
By throughput I meant number of compliant connections, not bandwidth.
It may well be latency that's going out the window, rather than
bandwidth. Yes, I should use more precise terms ...
_And_ NAPI is for receive only, right?  Also, my compliance drop 
occurs with the NAPI checkbox disabled.  There is something else 
in the new driver that causes our problems.
Not sure about that - I was told once that there were transmission
completion interrupts as well? What happens to those? Or am I 
confused again ...
