Well i report about performance regression before too, seems related case,
but my report was unclear.

And the bug was terrible for me, it was causing very bad performance on 
REDIRECT and loopback transfers. I am testing also recent net-2.6 with this 
loopback changes, it seems improve things for me much. So it is really 
important bugfix for me too.

There is always chances that some fix will cause regression, i will try to 
test this changes on intensive real-life workloads to make sure all fine.
