> 
> At least on Linux, if you kill a process using sockets, it takes about 10 seconds for socket to be closed. A program should try to close all resources. OS'es may take a long time to close a unclosed socket automatically.

	Are you measuring the time for the socket to close, or the time
before the OS allows the socket (IP/Port) to be reused?
