The difference with my proposal is you are using a 4M buffer size while I had 64k. Not a big deal -- as I said, my informal measurements once gave a very broad maximum, noticeably falling off (slowly!) in the 1G region. The default, 512, is definitely too small for somewhat-more-or-less current-ish [1] hardware configurations. Cheers [1] I always buy refurbished computers :) -- t
