intra-jail communication slow

[Beeblebrox]

Hi,

> Which communications
Let's take mysql for example, sockstat showing:
mysql    mysqld     1491  10 tcp4   192.168.2.101:3306    *:*
where IP 192.168.2.101/32 is an aliased address over 192.168.2.1/24
So the communication in this case is tcp through re0 (again, no pf atm)

 and how much slower?
Just visual observation. The jails are not in production environment
so they have no traffic except me; and all I am doing is some
setups/configurations. I have not ran any specific speed tests.
One observation was long process time when listing tables in database
from webmin.

I suppose that is the case in the above example?

I'd be more than happy to supply if you could give me the specifics
you want to see.
