Hello.

At least lca presentation graphs shows exactly different numbers - 
performance without CPU utilization (but not as his tables).

Interesting sentence from political correcteness point of view :)

I did both CPU and speed measurements when used socket code [1], 
and both of them showed small gain, but I only tested 1gbit setup, so
they can not be compared with Van's.
But even with 1gb I was not satisfied with them, so I started different
implementation, which I described in my e-mail to Alexey.

1. speed/cpu measurements of one of the netchannels implementation which
used socket code.
