i'm testing 10GBE speed with tweo servers. One with 3.5-rc3 nd thoe
other one whith RHEL 6 (2.6.32 kernel).

I noticed that setting
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0

descreased the performance from 9,7 Full Duplex to 3-4Gb/s.

Is this bahviour fine? What should / could i tet?

Really, you should provide more input than that, if you really want us
to help.

*arg* forgot to add the pastebin links. Sorry. Speed degraded in this 
case from 9,88Gbit/s to 2,45Gbit/s. When i turn on timestamps it's 
perfect again. Server A has 3.5.0-rc3 and server B has an RHEL6 2.6.32 
kernel.
