On a slightly similar note, the 7201 FAQ suggests the 4th Gig-E port
directly hangs off the PCI-X bus and can reach wire speed for all packet
sizes... 

This would be interesting (if actually possible), but wonder how much of
this would be affected by (or would affect) the CPU.

We are planning to deploy some 7201's in the network, and would like to test
this when we receive them. If anyone else has already had the pleasure,
please share.
