 For a production release it is recommended to set LWIP_STATS to 0.
 Note that speed performance isn't influenced much by simply setting
 high values to the memory options.

+--- Zero-copy MACs
+
+To achieve zero-copy on transmit, the data passed to the raw API must
+remain unchanged until sent. Because the send- (or write-)functions return
+when the packets have been enqueued for sending, data must be kept stable
+after that, too.
+
+This implies that PBUF_RAM/PBUF_POOL pbufs passed to raw-API send functions
+must *not* be reused by the application unless their ref-count is 1.
+
+For no-copy pbufs (PBUF_ROM/PBUF_REF), data must be kept unchanged, too,
+but the stack/driver will/must copy PBUF_REF'ed data when enqueueing, while
+PBUF_ROM-pbufs are just enqueued (as ROM-data is expected to never change).
+
+Also, data passed to tcp_write without the copy-flag must not be changed!
+
+Therefore, be careful which type of PBUF you use and if you copy TCP data
+or not!
