Here are some graphs and thoughts on them:

In particular, I'm considering sending a message to end2end-interest
asking what people think about the impact of changing the interpretation
of "ack out-of-order data immediately", but i wanted to see if anyone here
could point out any obvious flaws and stop me from making a fool out of
myself in public.... :-)

I also think it would be interesting to see if hacking in a maxburst
parameter and setting it to 3 would fix some of this.
