Subject: Re: Socket buffer sizes with autotuning

Just for the record, in my netperf RR (1MB request/20B reply) over
1GE/tg3 test on top of 2.6.18, changing tcp_tso_win_divisor to 0
from the default of 3 gets the cwnd down to 695 from 1037. Applying
the bound check (left * tp->mss_cache < 65536) will get cwnd down
to 737, not 695. Still big improvement though. (Anyway this may be
moot after I fix the real culprit.)
