How close are these hosts? As far as I can remember, the TCP problem
that was corrected related to behavior under packet loss.

With two hosts running -STABLE connected with a switch I have no problem
filling a 100 Mbps Ethernet pipe:

mgmtserv2# ttcp -r
ttcp-r: buflen=8192, nbuf=2048, align=16384/+0, port=5001  tcp
ttcp-r: socket
ttcp-r: accept from 195.18.128.227
ttcp-r: 134217728 bytes in 11.35 real seconds = 11543.38 KB/sec +++
ttcp-r: 91930 I/O calls, msec/call = 0.13, calls/sec = 8096.18
ttcp-r: 0.0user 0.4sys 0:11real 4% 15i+206d 244maxrss 0+1pf 91929+2csw

11544.62 * 8192 * 1538/1460 = 99.626 Mbps. Close enough :-)
