Folks-

Thanks for all the suggestions.  This is what I get for comparing
apples and oranges.  The results from above were hacked out late one
night on my home machine (4.7) which is certainly not tuned as well
as the lab machines Cindy and Fran have been using.  It looks like I
was limited by the number of mbuf clusters.  The 4.1 machines at the
lab are not.  The kernel easily swallows any of the above amount of
data.

However...  I will say that I think it is bogus that freebsd blocked
my (asyncronous) write() call when it was out of mbuf clusters.  I
think it would be nice if that were fixed.

Back to the drawing board...  (Joe is digging through the TCP code
and chasing a couple of things.)

Thanks again!

allman
