I can see slight throughput improvement with patch, measured by scp:

Upload to periodical scanning machine:
scp -B Fedora-18-Beta-i686-Live-Desktop.iso stasiu@192.168.1.105:~/

Unpatched: 3.9MB/s   03:15    
Patched:   4.3MB/s   02:58

Download from periodical scanning machine:
scp -B stasiu@192.168.1.105:~/Fedora-18-Beta-i686-Live-Desktop.iso .

Unpatched: 5.5MB/s   02:17
Patched:   6.2MB/s   02:02
