What makes you think the Solaris loopback is even doing checksums or a memcpy
via kernel space ? They only way you'll beat solaris at the loopback network
game is to cheat as they do. Make tcp_connect spot a localhost connection
change the socket method to something akin to af_unix but streamlined a bit
(only special case is urgent data).
