I think he was saying he created a 1GB file from the contents 
of /dev/urandom and then timed the transfer of this over 100Mbit/sec 
link.

Anyway, the point was that it worked!  Could the problem with the K8V SE 
really be as simple as we've been hardcoding 128K of ram for a device 
that only has 64K?
