Kenjiro's work is spectacular for low speed and medium speed
links (<= 10Mbs). For 100Mbs links, well, ... let's just say
it appears to have a lot of overhead.

I'm not sure whether it's Matt Thomas' de driver which is the
issue (certainly, the driver code needs some simplification)
or if ALTQ requires the send interrupt to be triggered so that
he knows a packet has drained.

FWIW. BTW: Kenjiro: Mighty fine work.
