Any "fixed value" will soon be too small (think about ufs_throttles, socket buffers, etc) I'm not sure, however, that making a bigger socket buffer will help all that much; it's somewhat wrong to give all the kernel to the data even though we know that it won't be all in flight. But zfs could certainly use bigger buffers; just like mbuffer, I also wrote my own "pipebuffer" which does pretty much the same.
