Re: quite big breakthrough in the BAD network performance, which mm6 did not fix

Not to sound mean about this. But either you prove your claim with benchmarks 
in a controlled enviroment ( that means in a private network ), or you stop

you don't like one version of it, then feel free to use some earlier version. 
Otherwise please stop.
