Yes.  Sounds like you're using the raw API already, so that is good as
far as performance goes.  Depending on your exact traffic pattern, if
you're using WinSock on the other end you may need to disable the Nagle
algorithm as otherwise it may sit around waiting for more than 8 bytes
before sending anything.  I'm not sure how to do this on Windows.  

A packet trace captured using something like ethereal or tcpdump is
usually quite good at seeing where the time is going, and if there are
any large pauses that shouldn't be there.

Hope that helps
