Good idea.
fetch -o /dev/null ftp://xxx/ftp/FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201011-amd64-dvd1.iso
/dev/null 100% of 1027 MB 29 MBps 00m00s
Basically the same. I don't think it's disk.
There's kern/152828 claiming a performance regression with em under
8.2, but I'm not sure if that is applicable to my system. I'd upgrade
the kernel to test, but I'm not brave enough to downgrade the kernel
to 8.0 for comparison. (I've never had good luck running an old kernel
on a new userland.)
