there are many components to the performance here, but i can think of at
least one simple issue.  plan 9 loopback tcp can be pretty slow due to scheduling
issues.  (induced by the structure of tcp, not any issue with the scheduler.)
my atom (which is slightly worse than a d525) gets

	ladd; nettest -l -n 10000
	tcp!192.168.0.136!39769 count 10000; 81920000 bytes in 2.649575 s @ 29.5 MB/s (0ms)

so i would imagine that working out how to post a fd to srv would really help
a lot.  not to mention, taking some funk out of configuring the network on
boot.  :-)
