FWIW, I was also playing around with vos dump a while back and it
seemed to me rx performance was the bottleneck. Trying to read the
vnodes ahead of time in a separate thread, using aio to fetch vnodes
in parallel, etc, didn't seem to help much at all, but increasing
some rx parameters (eg number of packets between acks) seemed to
get the "vos dump" performance up a bit.
