Right, my results were that you get pretty much exactly the same performance when you're working over a LAN whether you choose streams or regular 9P. Streaming only really starts to help when you're up into the multiple-millisecond RTT range. One thing that definitely needs to be done is checking the scalability of streaming. I think it can probably handle erik's case, though... there are tens of thousands of ports available, and even over a low-latency network I think we should be able to push data across fast enough.
