I was running the following:

tcpblast 127.0.0.1 <some blocks>

and got some strange results would anyone care to explain them?
this is on a DX4/100 16Meg, X is running with three idle xterms.
the system is a 2.0.5R, only the test is active, no build worlds 
or anything :-)

(the use of my hostname, localhost, or 127.0.0.1 makes no difference)

these tests were run in a row, I just "up arrowed" and changed
the number of blocks.

The thruput varies greatly, is this normal?
It seems like after I run tcpblast I need to wait 30-60 seconds to let
things calm down, then the thruput climbs again!! the amount sent also
seems to have an affect.

the results:
