I know some fxp's, along with others can offload parts of tcp to the card 
off the host cpu.  Given the speeds of current machines, is this really a 
gain or does it test out that the card is actually slower than line rate in 
which case offloading is actually a penalty?

Also interesting to hear the fxp's can't push the raw packet rates xl's can, 
anyone have any links with detailed benches covering the subject?
