It's benefitting from most of the development work done in 2.4.36,
without the architectural changes.

In particular it does zero-copy networking. And some network packet
'shepherding' that helps when the new multireq=1 option is set
(this does request merging in userspace, making up for anything the
kernel can't merge, up to the limit set by merge_requests=N).

I.e. "yes".
