| My company developes a psuedo real-time client-server system that runs on
| linux connected through TCP sockets. I have been noticing it has been
| taking the data packets quite a while to reach the clients from the
server.
| After trying several different ethernet cards and speeds (TP vs
thinnet,10
| vs 100), I have determined that the slow down only occures when the
server
| is running with a linux 2.0.x kernel (I have not tried 2.1.x). Any
system
| running up to 1.3.89 runs fine at full speed. I have not yet tested any
| kernel between 1.3.89 and 2.0.0
|

Tomasz Motylewski has pointed out that I didn't specify which 2.0.x kernel
I was refering to. I have tried kernels up to and including 2.0.30. I
have not tried the 2.0.31-2 pre-patch as of yet as Tomasz suggested.
