No, there's absolutely no activity..  There's only one file being retrieved
and it seems to nicely fit in the disk cache.

I do notice that netbsd does use significantly less memory than Linux during
the test..  but i don't know whether that's a result of the poor performance
(and thus there being less TCP flow data in memory) or somehow intertwined
with teh cause.

Monday I'll take a look and double check to make sure we're running the new
checksum code.. but I'm fairly certain we are.
