Re: DP performance

You obviously did not research on who Matthew Dillon is, otherwise you
would know that he has plenty of real world experience.  The guy wrote
a packet rate controller inspired by basic laws of physics, give him
credit instead of being rude.

Time will tell whether he was wrong about his arguments on PCI-X or not,
and whether our effort with DragonFly is just plain useless; but there
is absolutely no need for animosity on the lists.

Should you wish to continue debating performance issues then do so with
a civil manner.

Kind regards,
