If you try to make a PIII/500 fill 100mbit of TCP/IP using lots of different

I'm sure you can fix this (rare) workload but are you very sure you are not

I get flashbacks to the old days of the VM where we had lots patches around
that would all solve (more or less) real problems, but never all at the same
time..
