You bet. The Croquet test cases can attest to that. Before Ian's fixes 
we had something like:

Test                        Win32      Linux
-------------------------------------------------------
Raw socket latency:         0.15 ms    523.3 ms
Router roundtrip latency:   0.98 ms    275.9 ms
Router backdoor latency:    0.65 ms    147.3 ms

on both Linux and Macs; after the fixes Linux and Mac are on par or 
better than Windows. The fixes are in particular relevant for machines 
that run under high computational load.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
