Anyone tried flood pinging localhost lately?

With Linux 2.1.122 SMP (2xPentium 133) I get:

--- localhost ping statistics ---
38831 packets transmitted, 781 packets received, 97% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.6/103.7/331.4 ms

It seems to start out ok for the first line of packets, then go downhill,
which is really awful compared to the previous kernels that never
dropped a packet.[*] There is little load besides rc5des.

[*] - It flood pings at 100 Mbps/full duplex over local Ethernet fast
enough to _kill_ a Windows 95 B Winsock 2.0 TCP stack though. (power cycle)
