In my original kernel (2.6.20.6),  tcp_mem is
 24576, 32768, 49152
There is several memory_pressure in the `netstat -s`.

commit  53cdcc04c1e85d4e423b2822b66149b6f2e52c2c
[TCP]: Fix tcp_mem[] initialization.

In 2.6.20.6-patched, tcp_mem is
97440, 129920, 194880
And during my benchmark, 'memory_pressure' is always 0.

After these two days test, this patch works fine for me and benchmark
gets a good result(as good as 2.6.18).

Thank you very much for your help.
