Thanks for the hints.
The problem is that the CPU usage stays almost at 0% during the whole
merge. It's really only network related, not CPU related.

As it appears, with IPv6 disabled, it's only neon that's slow. A test
using serf instead of neon revealed the same speed as with the RC9.
That's however gone again once IPv6 is enabled again.
