Would somebody like to explain why netfilter (in kernel, but not in use)
makes upload go very slow? I am by no means a network guru, but eager to
learn :-)
let's get this straight. There are five possible cases
a) CONFIG_NETFILTER disabled. you won't even have the netfilter hooks
in the network stack (so certainly no netfilter-using modules loaded)
b) CONFIG_NETFILTER enabled, but _no_ modules (iptable_filter,
ip_conntrack, ...) attached to the netfilter hook
c) CONFIG_NETFILTER enabled and iptable_filter.o (which pulls ip_tables.o)
loaded, NO RULES in the table
d) CONFIG_NETFILTER enabled and iptable_filter.o (which pulls ip_tables.o)
loaded, RULES in the table
e) CONFIG_NETFILTER enabled and ip_conntrack.o loaded, iptable_filter
loaded or not, rules or not
