(In some cases it's trivial to demonstrate a factor of 2000 improvement in socket throughput.)
Does this improvement apply to linux VMs, too?
You bet. The Croquet test cases can attest to that. Before Ian's fixes we had something like:
Test Win32 Linux ------------------------------------------------------- Raw socket latency: 0.15 ms 523.3 ms Router roundtrip latency: 0.98 ms 275.9 ms Router backdoor latency: 0.65 ms 147.3 ms
on both Linux and Macs; after the fixes Linux and Mac are on par or better than Windows. The fixes are in particular relevant for machines that run under high computational load.
