    Thinking about the trace a little more, the Apple send buffer must be set
    much lower (about 18-19KB ballpark) than the FreeBSD recieve buffer (56 KB).
    If these settings were simular, the Apple machine should be providing
    more data as the FreeBSD gives the window updates - this would give
    the FreeBSD side more chances to give duplicate ACKs to recover quicker.

    For related curiousities, would you tell me if the FreeBSD a Uniprocessor
    or multiprocessor?
