    Yes, I've seen that cause extremely slow ethernet connections, over
    and over and over. Rather than 10 MB/s, you'll see 50 KB/s transfer
    rates.

    But everything does work, so it's not noticed right away ...

    I've seen this over and over and over, on many different architectures
    of machines. So many times that when somebody says `slow local
    network' it's the first thing I check.
