How did you get bge working on a Gen8 Proliant anyway?

AFAIK, the stock bge of 9.1 doesn't have support for the bcm-chips in
those servers.

Can you try an Intel NIC?

I have to cap RSIZE/WSIZE at 32k to get *any* kind of performance from
a SmartOS NFS server.
That was with 9.0, I haven't re-done my tests with 9.1, admittedly.
