I'm amazed this is even using 2.2.16, and the networking stack is supposed to
be faster in 2.4.

Summary
Our real-world test observed a 75% performance gap between the best and worst
performing operating systems, with Linux enjoying a 35% lead over runner-up
Solaris. Of more significance, asynchronous applications were on average 12x
faster than process-based applications, and 35% faster than multi-threaded
applications. If disk I/O occupies a significant run-time portion of your
application, your disk I/O tasks will run up to 10x faster on Linux and
Windows 2000, when compared to Solaris, or 6x faster than FreeBSD.
