Sigh, I realize I totally omitted a TON of stuff about how Lustre is
tuned for high bandwidth/performance, and focussed exclusively on one
tiny part of the network stack, due to the previous topic.  Many things,
like zero data copies, large request sizes from the client down to the
disk, efficient network protocol, etc. are all probably more important
than the low-latency message passing implementation.
