So you are referring to common features of stacks of both 4.* and 5.*,
right? As far as I understand the matter, this all have to be (and I guess actually is) provable.

Now, you were saying that 5.* is even worse, I quote:

FreeBSD 5.x network performance is really poor, relative to 4.x; I do
not recommend using FreeBSD 5.x in a production environment.

Then I wonder *what* were the reasons for not working on matters pointed out??? You were also saying in same post that:

The fixes are mostly
simple, but for whatever reason, they never make it into FreeBSD
proper (my theory is that the developement focus is heavily skewed
to general purpose processing, rather than network processing).

And throttling the "FlagFeature"???
