To an extent, yes.  I can get 1.5 Mb (bytes, not bits) through a 
synchronous back-to-back user-ppp connection on my laptop (PII366) 
with compression disabled.

Also, I'd argue that on an SMP box, user-land MP ppp will beat the 
socks off any kernel implementation - at least for the forseeable 
(disclaimer: I know nothing about NetBSD SMP mutexes !!).  Especially 
when you introduce compression - usually better done in userland.
