    Just for the reference, this one regresses from the 2.6.23. Particular
    2.6.26-27 part can be partially fixed by disabling TSO/GSO, since tbench
    workload issues quite small packets, and system has no time to
    incorporate them into particulary big TSO/GSO frame to get advantage of
    this technology. The most noticeble perfromance drop was between 23 and
    24 kernels. I work on this issue.

    This one is different, but any other benchmark related to network over
    loopback (and in some case over other media) performance degradation
    should be very likely handled by the above case.
