Maybe the ones using netconn or socket API don't have any problems? :-) But really, I haven't used the netconn API so far, but the socket API solves many lwIP-related difficulties for the programmer and thus makes programming applications easier. But of course there is a performance-gain using the raw API. Depending on the system you are using, the frequent task changes (between tcpip_thread and application thread) can be *very* time-consuming. However, using the netconn API, the task changes should be the only performance drawback against the raw API.
