Why tcp_collapse()? Unnecessary copying of data??

Hi,

I wonder why there is tcp_collapse() in tcp_input.c - it seems to copy 
tcp payload! (merges packets together and frees some of them).

This seems to be quite a high and unnecessary overhead!!
Or is there any good reason for that?

Thanks,

	Tomas
