[vbox-dev] NAT/slirp low outbound speed from guest's to remote hosts.

[Jakob Simon-Gaarde]

First of all I haven't just been talking, I have really spend days debugging and profiling - so I think that should be respected in this context. I just had to face the fact that I wasn't able to fix the problem.

The hack mentioned was not ment as a solution but as information - it was something I used for manual profiling which turned out to have the curious effect of speeding up performance.

Best regards Jakob Simon-Gaarde

Well, the more time the developers spend on talking and discussing, the 
longer it'll take to fix this. Besides, NAT isn't the most critical 
feature for customers.

And to state the obvious: the mentioned hack won't ever make it into the 
sources, as it both has unwanted side effects and doesn't fix the actual 
problem. It's simply a mysterious workaround.

The latest SVN code has seen some networking changes, which may (or may 
not) affect the NAT speed.
