Better Bandwidth Utilization

In short it gives priority to TCP ACKs over other types of traffic, thereby making it possible to max both upload and download bandwidth simultaenously. Be sure to check ot the nice graphs! Also note the article on OpenBSD Journal. OpenBSD 3.3 beta is now stable enough for daily use, so why not download a snapshot from one of the mirrors and try it out?"

Put lower priorities on p0rn, MP3s, Windows viruses, and Slashdot referrals. That should speed everything else up by about two orders of magnitude.

  What is this "everything else" of which you speak?
