TCP/IP Speed

When I ping two linux machines on a private link, I get 0.1 ms delay.
When I send large TCP/IP stream data between them, I get almost
10 megabytes per second on a 100-base link. Wonderful.

However, if I send 64 bytes from one machine and send it back, simple
TCP/IP strean connection, it takes 1 millisecond to get it back? There
seems to be some artifical delay somewhere. How do I turn this OFF?

Cheers,

Penguin : Linux version 2.4.1 on an i686 machine (797.90 BogoMips).

I was going to compile a list of innovations that could be
attributed to Microsoft. Once I realized that Ctrl-Alt-Del
was handled in the BIOS, I found that there aren't any.
