How does it work on simple SYNs then? :-(
Perhaps there's some overhead in offloading the checksum to the particular network adapter you have, so the driver only offloads the checksum if there's enough data to be checksummed that you save more time offloading the checksum than you lose setting up the adapter to offload it.
