Subject: Re: tcp bw in 2.6

Isn't this something so straightforward that you would have tests for it?
This is the basic FTP server loop, doesn't someone have a big machine with
10gig cards and test that sending/recving data doesn't regress?

Pretty unlikely given that we've changed the switch, the card works fine
in the other direction, and I'm 95% sure that we used to get better perf
before we switched to a more recent kernel.

I'll try and find some other gig ether cards and try them.
