thanks.

I think we'll implement something similar to
the tcp->sndfull idea. You keep a counter of bytes
on the ackq and if bigger than some limit it will
sleep. The ackto funtion will wakeup this
process if the number is smaller than half
the limit.

This shouldn't affect RPC performance and the protocol
will work as a pipe too.
