Some more background information: The used filesystem is squashfs with
blocksize of 64kByte. The read-ahead of NBD is set to 128kByte (seems to be the
optimal value there). I checked the thoughput of the rootfs (squashfs on NBD)
for a booting system. While I got up to 14000kbit/s for an ftp download (same
server), the nbd bandwidth usage never exceeded 4200kbit/s roughly one third of
the actual bandwidth available (independently of various variations of the tcp
buffer adjustments as suggested) :(

Any further ideas!? Dirk
