I could see the buffers backing up for 10/100 cards. So that case
favors your point. I'm still thinking that it's a sign someone should
be buying a 2nd card and ramping up their network capability. But I can
see your point.
And when we have 1GHZ memory busses and 10GHz cpus tomorrow,
what does this say for 1gbit and 10gbit cards?
You want to define a machine as having too much "work" or not, yet you
only want to consider one metric to do so. Such schemes are
fundamentally flawed.
