I should clarify that the fix also requires changes in the Unix
support code for it to be effective. Recompiling the 3.8 Unix code
base with the modified forceInterruptCheck() will not make any
difference to socket performance. An upcoming 3.9 release will
include the changes, which are already checked in to SVN.
Cheers,
