This is a high-tech form of "Yankee Humor".  What it's doing coming from
CA I may never know, but I have enough respect for vjs that I think he could
become a successful Yankee if he tried.

Major clue:  "When I say..."  vjs hasn't claimed yet that he can get this
performance.  I take this to mean that he's still working on it.  He may
have to break 9.6 usec interframe gap spec, though.  Maybe he's just waiting
for approval for his PO for a few more ethernet interfaces for his test
machine.

While I have the floor here, may I suggest another (hah!) solution the
the performance reporting confusion?  Suppose we reported throughput
in terms of percentage of the maximum data rate?  We'd even have a
chance of enforcing milli% to be 10^-3!
