While I'm a fan of larger buffers I'm also leery of arbitrarily 
increasing buffer sizes statically. While a larger buffer will help in 
bulk data transfers it can be a hindrance in other situations. In this 
case I'm mostly concerned about issues relating to overbuffering in 
interactive sessions. Has the dev team looked at this?

BTW:

builds and tests fine under OS X 10.4.10
