Interesting.  Are you manually tweaking the TCP buffers or letting the
autotuning stuff do it's magic?  The buffering TCP does might smooth things
out a bit over the UDP case.  

I'm fairly sure the UDP send buffers are fairly small by default on most
systems.  I'm betting that the UDP send() in Iperf is blocking due to a lack
of buffer space in the kernel which in turn is caused by the inability to get
enough time on the radio.  The UDP sends in Iperf are very bursty and the
burstyness might aggrevate the problem.
