Makes no difference here. Takes 3 seconds, exactly the time to the next
SYN packet.

Oh well, that is true for the 2.6.32 kernel. But for the 3.2.0 kernel,
it really does make a difference:

with --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable it takes only 1 second
and with --reject-with tcp-reset the reaction is instantaneous
(i.e. 32ms)

What exactly did change in the kernel and when?
