So, I did a couple of download tests from ftp3.de.freebsd.org with kernel 3.1.10.

Here traffic plot for net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 897664":

Here plot for net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 4127616":

And comparison of both plots:

The main notable difference is that with 4127616 there is
never stright line (when wget shows 11 M/s ) as with  897664.
Speed with 4127616 is close to 11 M/s but never constant.
I was able to reproduce this at least 3 times.
