NOPE, PLEASE PARDON me,
but the above is not quite true....

Under heavy system load, generally, it LOOKs like the new tcpdump [3.4],
compiled with the new libpcap[0.4], with GENERIC kernel,
performs better [can anyone confirm that?] ,
but again I am seeing about 2% packet drops.

Why I haven't seen that in Linux? Ideas --- anyone?

And, yes, the drops should go away, if I upgrade the machine,
which will soon happen, but I thought *BSD (including OpenBSD)
has faster networking code, right, and under the same configuration,
I run OpenBSD, and have drops?
