After,
ethtool -K eth1 tso off
the result is unchanged on 2.6.9 (14 seconds for 105 MB).

After,
ethtool -K eth1 tso off
the result is also unchanged on 2.6.10-ac11 with no extra TCP patch (325 
seconds).

PS:
Please sorry for the long delay I have to run tests, and the reason is that
it's a production server, so I cannot make tests in the middle of the day,
it's remote, so in order to switch the kernel, I have to upload the new one,
and then upload again the old one to switch back, and the best connection
I have these days is 30 Kbps modem connection. It will improve on monday since
I'll have a 128 Kbps ADSL connection.
