That does not appear to me to be a safe thing to do on a production
machine. Tweaks that are only good in a test environment really don't
help the testing effort; they just mask a problem that will surface
later at deployment time.
We could run our benchmarks this way and get high rates but no one
deploying the server for real use would ever get anything like that,
which makes the benchmark figure rather pointless.
On the other hand, being able to configure a small MSL for the loopback
device is perfectly safe. Being able to configure a small MSL for other
interfaces may be safe, depending on the rest of the network layout.
