Ok. I have been testing a bit more. It generally works fine, It seems
the "transmit timed out" thing was provoked by dd in the tests, because
it was creating a lot of small requests. (default bs=512).(over NFS).
When the blocksize went up, the problem dissapered. (and the numer of
context-switches went down).
When the blocksize went up, the performance likewise raised to 615MB/s.
I haven't been able to get pass that number.
This is where one of the cpu's are settling at 100% load.
