Dear Danny:

Unfortunately, I was left slightly unclear on the comparison you are making 
above.  Could you confirm whether or not, with if_em, you see a performance 
regression using UDP NFS between 7.0-RELEASE and the most recent 7.1-STABLE, 
and if you do, whether or not the RLOCK->WLOCK change has any effect on 
performance?  It would be nice to know on the same hardware but at least with 
different hardware we get a sense of whether or not this might affect other 
systems or whether it's limited to a narrower set of configurations.

Thanks,
