I gathered benchmark results for PentiumMMX. They confirm that my patch improves the speed.
I run the Taka's socket benchmark program on PentiumMMX with CONFIG-M586MMX. http://www.suna-asobi.com/~akira-t/linux/cleanup-copy-user-1/netio586mmx.c
Without my patch on 2.5.46:

With my patch on 2.5.46:

I appreciate if somebody could try on 386 or 486. I don't have them right now.
Cheers,
Akira
