A while back there was some discussion of the ether performance of the PI
under plan9 being significantly poorer than under linux.

Did anyone get anywhere looking at this issue?

Ethernet performance was improved quite a bit by the introduction
of the etherusb kernel driver - before that, packets were going between
usb and ether queues via a user space process.

Any further improvement will probably be bounded by the simple synchronous
i/o model of usb in Plan 9 (built for comfort, not for speed).

any suggestions on a more performant model?

More asynchrony => fill more frames with packets.
