In Dave's defense will note that the Linux TCP stack does appear to be extremely efficient compared to other OS'es… It's just not always the perfect hammer for the screws you may be using.

Then the others must suck even more, but the Linux TCP stack still sucks.

It's the quality of discourse that keeps me coming back to LWN.

Good point. But what exactly is the correct technical response to an argument of the form "it's ok if we suck because somebody else sucks even worse". Never mind that that premise is stated without support, whereas the premise that the Linux TCP stack is a big pile of spaghetti is easily verified.
