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.
