:Just some extra input: I can confirm this. During TCP-performance tests (on
:FreeBSD 5.4 machines) I saw a drop from around 700MBit/s to 300Mbit/s just

Well, you can mess around with the other related controls, but inflight
is not designed to do well on performance tests, it is designed to manage
an overloaded network in real life situations. So if your network is
overloaded and turning on inflight helps, and nobody complains about it,
then it has served its purpose.
