Does it really need to be particularly aggressive about that? How often
are there great streams of small packets sitting in a socket buffer? One
really only cares when the system starts getting memory challenged right?
Until then does it really matter if there are 100 64 byte chunks of data
sitting in 1500 byte buffers?
It is hard to believe that a poor placement of data and extra bloat do not
matter.
While the analogy isn't completely apt, the old "if a tree falls in a forest and
noone is there to hear it does it make a sound" saying comes to mind. in this
case, it would be "if we have 64 bytes of data in a 1500 byte buffer and no-one
else needs memory..."
