Possibly a bug - but you really should turn off TSO if you are doing
huge interactive transactions (which is fair because there is a clear
demarcation).

I don't see how this can matter.

TSO only ever does anything if you accumulate more than one MSS
worth of data.

I stand corrected then.

For most normal Internet TCP connections, you will see only 2 or 3 packets per TSO
because of ACK clocking. If you turn off delayed ACK on the receiver it
will be even less.

A current hot topic of research is reducing the number of ACK's to make TCP
work better over asymmetric links like 3G.
