Hi martin,

Thanks for making your patches available. I applied, recompiled and
retested, but unfortunately, the delay remains the same.

I did some further testing and it appears that during the scan, it takes
nmap more and more time to process the data. I had it debugging with
(tv_diff > 5) and it seems to climb from less than 5ms in the early
beginning, to more than 100ms at 40%... So I am guessing that this is
where my delay is coming from. Only question left: how can I optimize
this....
