No, no. Bad Martin! Throughput didn't drop, "Specweb compliance" dropped.
Those are two very, very different things. I've found that the server
can produce a lot more throughput, although it doesn't have the
characteristics that Specweb considers compliant. Just have Troy enable
mod-status and look at the throughput that Apache tells you that it is
giving during a run. _That_ is real throughput, not number of compliant
connections.
_And_ NAPI is for receive only, right? Also, my compliance drop occurs
with the NAPI checkbox disabled. There is something else in the new driver
that causes our problems.
