If your question is "why is Linux ~3x slower", then that question might be better asked on a linux mailing list. This assumes similar hardware. Note that different hardware also affects the ping rate: 386/20 w/4MB running 2.2-960612-SNAP: 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=6.563 ms 586/133 w/32M running 2.1.0-RELEASE: 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=0.158 ms -- Jonathan
