watching trafshow on my rather quiet 10base2 net (my mom's win95 box, my
win95 box, my VS3100, routed through a 5x86/133 FreeBSD box on a PCI
NE2000) could rarely beat more than 85k/sec out of NFS.  NFS I assume is
pretty clean code, and I know uranus (the FreeBSD router box, also the
NFS server for the boot) can pump a LOT more nfs than that.

My VS3100m30's can only get 27-30k/sec off the PIO kernel, which ensures
the fact it couldn't saturate much of anything.  Though I did run a
small page with the htdocs off the hard drive, which ran rather fast,
but it wasn't much of a page and was prolly cached...
