Making buffer sizes larger does not equate to faster transfers. To
optimizing transfer speed you will need to do an analysis of network
communication and adjusting buffer sizes to maximize the data
transmitted in each TCP packet. In particular, make sure that every
other TCP packet does not contain a small amount of data.
