I don't use jumbo frames here because:

1.  Not all the desktop NICs support it
2.  No single host _needs_ maximum GbE throughput
    We don't do large single file transfers
3.  The servers can hit wire speed doing parallel xfers
    without using jumbo frames
4.  My SAN is fibre channel

I have done testing with GbE and 9000 byte frames and the information I
gave you is based on that testing, the experiences of peers, and many
articles read over the years where similar testing was performed.
