Thanks - so you are suggesting we enable 802.3 flow-control / 
pause-frames?
(it's currently disabled)

I'm not aware of any tests for high speed links with very low RTTs, but
I suspect that the new algorithms will not change much, if the
connections you have are indeed local than the Ethernet pause mechanism
is more effective for the flow control you need.
