Next time attach a patch fixing, or at least
bother to investigate the problem
which you're so rudely flaming about. Maybe
Linux is broken. Nobody said it
wasn't. But you're closer to (and clearly care
more about) the problem than
99% of the people reading your email.

So why don't you help fix it, instead of laying
into Erik and the netdev
people (who incidentally aren't CC'ed)?

When you report a problem and some clown pipes in
with "its not a problem, linux is just so fast it
doesn't use any cpu!" you really don't have the
foundation for coming up with a solution or
helping to find one.
