An interesting task. I'm not too familiar with the current state of 
ReactOS, but I'm not too convinced lwIP is the correct network stack for 
such a system.

Not only might multithreaded usage be a performance problem, but the 
fact that lwIP is optimized for size rather than speed might impact 
performance, too. For example, unsorted lists are used in many places 
since lwIP is optimized for a small number of connections. This does not 
scale very well for a full blown OS with many parallel connections.

However, unless this does not limit you too much, I'm still interested 
in any optimizations you find which are in line with the original target 
of lwIP.
