I tried it this morning, when there were only 8 anonymous demon
users, and it worked fine. One thing I forgot is that you need to
use emptyfile4 so that tcp can get up to speed. With that I got
11KB/sec and no pauses at all on each of five consecutive attempts.
On the first two nothing else was happening on machine, on the last
three I used knews and netscape to rattle the disk. No change.

BTW I still haven't bothered with irqtune [ ;-) ], but my modem
port is on IRQ 2/9, which has fairly high priority by default IIRC.
