Please, if I have addressed this wrong, do not hesitate to point me toward
another list.

I'm looking for tips on network / kernel optimization. I know that when
100Mb/s ethernet first came to FreeBSD, there were P90s moving at 9MB/s,
but I've never been able to break 7MB/s, except for my K7-850 with
Barricuda hard drives (9.0). I'm using xl's on most machine (K7 as well)
with a fxp in my P166 with SCSI drives (sees only ~6 MB/s on a good day).

Any ideas? I've got 2560 total mbuf clusters on the P166; I can't really
think of much else to change to speed things up...
