.. but network performance isn't only about connection speed. if your performance fall off as you wrote, your hardware is maybe not too much efficient (ram speed, cpu speed, pci performance), but mainly: this isn't distribution bug .. if your main requisition is performance then disable packet filtering, upgrade hardware, or change architecture.
