I've connected the em0 port of the freebsd box on a gigabit PCI-X NIC
I have in the Mac, and given a second try to the "dd | nc" client/

Same setup with apache 1.3 on the mac, wget on the Freebsd: about 40
MB/s (350 MB file)
May I see the results of thttpd in comparison to apache (just for
the file)?
:-)
I made a quick&dirty compilation of thttpd on the Mac, and I've got
about 39 MB/s, so quite the same.
I made further tests, and I've discovered that the real culprit is
ipfw/natd on the Mac. When I share LAN/Internet access on the Mac
from eth to airport wifi, ipfw/natd are configured in such a way that
my eth network crawls. When I've changed NICs (between onboard and
PCI-X) the internet sharing was still configured to use onboard eth.
But if I reconfigure the internet sharing on the Mac to use the PCI-X
NIC, the speed lowers to 21 MB/s instead of 40.
I'll have to find a good wifi card for the freebsd box, so that the
Mac won't have to be a gateway-behind-the-gateway.
And I would like to direct ur attention to this thread on freebsd-
geom@ (that
could make ur disk-bottleneck go away; cave: disk bus contention):

(esp.: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?45A8B722.7020302)
I'll take a look, thanks !
