RE: Turning off nagle algorithm in 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels?

Hi,

The finicky nature of closed sourced sybase libraries that we are using in
the custom apps make me ask this question. Will turning off the Nagle
algorithm in the kernel on the fly, impact performance in any way? or Can we
have this feature in the kernel in some way?

TIA
Zameer A.
