So the sysctl results (ipv6) aren't significant?

comment Performance decrease on simple network app when run on 'better' machine
the faster older machine has a whole bunch of net.ipv6 entries that are missing in the newer machine. Also the net.ipv4.udp_mem are different, although that's not too promising seeing that I'm not (AFAIK) using UDP. Not using forks so ulmit won't help here. Maybe time for a tcpdump capture then?

Unfortunately your excellent suggestions didn't show anything 1) qdisc output shows no entries for lo: qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth1 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth4 bands 3 priomap 1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2) iptables are not used on the newer computer 3) se linux is disabled on both machines 4) no diffs found in the output of these commands on both of the machines It feels like we're getting to the end of the list of things to check! Any other suggestions?

As I'm sending traffic through the loopback device, I wouldn't think the NIC/switch would matter.

comment Force firefox to use different library
Not sure why your response didn't send me a notify via email - maybe it doesn't for new comments? I had a look at the relative positioning of the directory with the new libstdc++.so file, and it appears as the first entry in LD_LIBRARY_PATH (echoed immediately before calling the binary). Maybe it has something to do with the fact that its actually a different so (libxul) that requires libstdc++, and that for some reason points to the older version?

comment Force firefox to use different library
Unfortunately upgrading is determined by work policies :(. I had a quick look around in the run scripts (firefox & run-mozilla.sh). They are in fact messing with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but they look to be appending any paths already existing. Echoing out the LD_LIBRARY_PATH value immediately prior to running the binary shows that my manual addition appears in the environment variable. I'm not 100% sure that my understanding of linking/LD_LIBRARY_PATH is entirely correct..
