The impact of TSO is clearly dramatic, especially when combined with the 
patch, but I'm a bit concerned by the drop in performance in the patched 
non-TSO case.  For network cards which will always have TSO enabled, this 
isn't an issue, but do we see a similar affect for drivers without TSO?  What 
can we put this drop down to?
