Before patch :

lat_connect -N 10 127.0.0.1
TCP/IP connection cost to 127.0.0.1: 27.8872 microseconds

After :

lat_connect -N 10 127.0.0.1
TCP/IP connection cost to 127.0.0.1: 20.7681 microseconds

Strange isnt it ?

(special care should be taken with this bench, as it leave many sockets
in TIME_WAIT state, so to get consistent numbers we have to wait a while
before restarting it)
