I've mentioned it several times, like just 10 days ago:

pump so far always won the race, but if I overlooked any possible
improvement I'd highly welcome any hints and would re-evalute the
situation these days. Which dhcp (client) binary exactly (if
possible name Debian package and full binary path) are you talking
about?
