Performance dude... if your application is like ftp or something that is
transfering a large amount of data, a larger buffer size is (to a
point) better for performance, reducing the amount of CPU needed to
process the data, etc. It really depends upon the application, and how
the rest of your system is tuned, which is why you can control it with
socket options... :)
