Usual auto negotiation does its job quite good.
But OpenAFS enables encryption of data transfer on each standard install
- which results in drastic performance decreases.
E.g. my workstation client (linux) does 10-12 MB/sec with encryption
enabled, but >70 MB/sec with encryption disabled.
My point is on: disable encryption.
Btw, our linux clients does roughly 20-50 MB/sec so far. Still need to
test memcache.
