2x may be plausible. The first 128k goes out, then the rest queues up
until the first ack comes back. Then the next 128kB goes out again
without waiting... I think this is what Nagle is supposed to actually
address but either it may be off by default these days or our usage
pattern may be defeating it in some way.
