I looked at the FreeBSD code a couple of months ago and was quite
dissatisfied with what seemed like some of the possible consequences
of how they shrink buffers (among other things, it's grossly unfair
between sockets, which seems like it could be trivially exploited by
a malicious application to reduce throughput for others).

But if they haven't had trouble with it in practice -- what's Linux do,
for comparison?
