Compairing 9.1 and current (249908) on my new test-server (HP ProLiant
DL320 G5, dual-core Xeon 3050, dual Intel NIC).
Like usual: one unidirectional flow of small packets, values in
packet-per-seconds:

x 9.1
+ current
    N           Min           Max        Median           Avg        Stddev
x   5        379991        381508        381229      380892.6     667.69926
+   5        332833        335502        334726      334223.2     1142.8266
Difference at 95.0% confidence
        -46669.4 +/- 1364.98
        -12.2526% +/- 0.358363%
        (Student's t, pooled s = 935.915)
