Okay, good. I committed that change in r15376.

There could be a lot of different reasons for different performance on
different platforms. This case looks like it's probably rate limiting,
if it's repeatable. 1000 ports in 6.743 seconds is 149.25 ports per
second, which is about the RST rate limit of Mac OS X. The NetBSD result
is 54.59 packets per second; you might check if there's a rate limiter
in place.
