Unexpectedly, 1024 was fastest in my setup. The problems can be on the other end, too: System Rescue's tftp client is not great--three minutes for 211M. Clonezilla is much better, at 15 seconds for 101M. Linux systems with netboot can boot off http (using wget) and it's much better. Twice as fast for the Clonezilla load, but System Rescue went from three minutes to only 18 seconds.
