I have, but our fix is just to increase the system default socket buffer
size.  I guess we didn't do any studies to see if we were maximizing
window use.  Which made sense for us, since we were doing many to many
aggregate copies and filling the WAN pipes anyway.

I don't have time to look into this, but I am very interested to hear
about any progress you make.
