You might want to see Curtis Preston's LISA paper about backing up a 6TB
Oracle instance.
(sorry, don't have the reference handy).  I seem to remember him having this
problem due to the Ethernet MTU of 1500.
1500 go by fast at Gig speeds, and the CPU get interrupted every time.  His
E10000 could only push ~300Mbps thru the Gig pipe.
He solved this by going to an Alteon Gig enet board with "jumbo frames" of
9000.

....or something like that.

Hmmm... I guess I didn't answer your question...but from my non-answer
above, I guess my answer would be: "attend USENIX conferences."
