Re: Early SPECWeb99 results on 2.5.33 with TSO on e1000

If you just wanted to speed things up, you could get the
clients to specify ports instead of letting the kernel
cycle through for a free port..:)

Better would be probably to change the kernel to keep a limited
list of free ports in a free list. The grabbing a free port would
be an O(1) operation. 

I'm not entirely sure it is worth it in this case. The locks are
probably the majority of the cost.
