I guess I should have mentioned this, but I have tried setting rsize/wsize to 1024 (as well as 8192, which incidentally works lovely the other way) to no avail. Or did you mean something else?
I also have looked at the mtu settings in ifconfig (-a on the Sun), which are 1500 - somebody thought that might be an issue, any opinions?
I feel I should stress this is not just a performance issue, simple operations take hideously long, and some large ones fail completely. dd from /dev/zero to a file took 13 minutes, before the process crashed after about four megs.
