If you can construct a test case, the upstream developers at
netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx will be a better target than fedora-test-list.

Unfortunately, it's not a bug, it's a feature :

"This came up with java debugging already. The problem is when the sender writes a message in separate write() system calls, each one becomes a separate packet. In 2.6.15 we do a new thing called Appropriate Byte Count and that penalizes stupid applications, but provides better fairness over the internet by accounting for packets better."

I've sent this comment over to the "stupid application" developers at GSOAP. I guess they (and I) unreasonably expect lo to be at least as fast, or faster, than ether...
