We can take this offline.

That would be great. If you can show a claer benefit, should be fine.

Thats what i am hoping for. Sometimes i just dont touch code
unnecessarily because it may have strange side effects; look at that
tunnel problem posted yesterday for example - some change an inequality

Post the patch and i will test it in my environment and make sure it
doesnt break anything here. My interest are two cases: default setup and
proxy_delay being 0.
