Nah, not worth the effort.  time_wait sockets are good to try to follow 
the rules on, but if the choice is to delay or throw away one prematurely, 
throwing one away prematurely is the better choice.

Yep, me too - doing purge cycling was never my intent; it was just 
supposed to be a last ditch attempt to free a time_wait socket that was 
taking up an ephemeral port when no ephemeral ports were left.
