Does this actually alter the buffer sizes used by the kernel when reading, or
just maximum amount of data it will try to read at once (for NFS, obviously)?
I've left this option in my kernels, hoping that it might reduce memory
requirements, but I don't think that it does. However, taking the option out
does make network access appear much snappier...
