I don't even bother with TCP mounts; my default amd rule says
proto=udp.  Is there any reason to add the overhead of the TCP stack if
you're not leaving your own ethernet?

You should be able to easily saturate a 100mbit link with FreeBSD 4.*
machines, and I can do 15-20MB/sec with Netgear GA620 gigabit nics (SMP
2 x pIII/600).
