[En-Nut-Discussion] TCP FFlush slow on Ethernut 3

Indeed that's quite interesting. One Idea that's still rumoring in my
head might be "NutGetMillis()". I don't know if it's used directly or
indirectly in the TCP stuff. I noticed some problems concerning the time
handling functions on the Ethernut3 board some time ago. The problem
was, that everytime a time handling function was called, the RTC clock
chip was queried by I2C if the CPU frequence was not configured hard by
the configurator but was calculated dynamicaly.

I don't remember if Harald had changed something in the time framework
since then. I solved the problem by defining the CPU frequency as
constant value in the configurator.

Just an idea...

Bye,

Ole
