That's why, back in 1992, the sliding window protocol was created (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1323), so that a peer won't wait for a TCP ACK before resuming operation.
It was part of TCP _long_ before that (it was never as stupid as XMODEM ;-) ). That RFC specifies window scaling to support windows sizes larger than 2^16 bytes, useful for large bandidth*delay product networks.
