Mhh .. I trust you picked a proper clocksource and timer frequency?

I hacked up a patch yesterday. I want to do a bit more testing before
posting it, but its hard to really test the effectiveness because even
without this patch my DSL line already delivers higher throughput and
much better delay than it should (its a throttled SDSL line sold as
ADSL). I'll try to do some testing on an ethernet link now.
