I have to say that disabling delayed acks was a lazy approch ;-).
With 2.1.129 I get this trace for example:

So I implemented a my own new heuristic to try to improve the delayed acks
calculation. At first I think that using tp->ato for disabling delayed
acks is a bad choice because doing that we lose the good history
information we achieved in the past.
So here my delayed acks implementation against 2.1.129 (that is just
included also in arca-31 to allow unstable people to give a try). The only
thing I am sure is that the patch can' t harm it could only increase o
decrease the performance (I think the first is true).
Basically I try to account only the delays between two consecutive packets
in the delack estimation. When the delack timer expires I return to probe
the tp->ato but at the first two consecutive packets from the other end I
stop the probing and start the regime accounting.
The patch is against 2.1.129 and incidentally includes also some little
*_before() stuff and a no-PROC_FS-config-allow fix.
