Using the same methodology (although with parallel=7):

So with my connection there's no significant gain or loss. Since this data was uninteresting I tried again with a large packet delay. # tc qdisc add dev wlan0 root netem delay 500ms

32 27 0.84 194 184 0.95 37 39 1.05 184 178 0.97 42 37 0.88 257 220 0.86 92 62 0.67 65 44 0.68 77 60 0.78 54 51 0.94 0.87 avg

Thanks. My takeaway here is there is no drawback to adding this patch, only a potential (average) gain for some people. So I am accepting this patch. Allan
