Hi Yick,
 Have you tried playing with output-buffer? The defaults are optimized
mainly for voip usage, so if you require high bandwidth you should
probably increase the default value (10), to 100 or even 1000. Could
you please report back any findings from this change, so I can
document it if it is successful?

Nikos
