I think in a situation where your network is fast and large amounts
of buffering do not imply high latency, then the inflight limiting
stuff probably isn't useful.

(I have some coworkers who reckon that inflight limiting can do the
wrong thing in other situations too, but they haven't had a chance
to investigate their suspicions yet.)
