[Verse-dev] sending packets too slow

So do I.

Interesting! if you look inside v_network_out_que.c in the function
v_noq_send_queue you will find to following out comented loop that sends
more then one packet.

/*	if(queue->sent_size < V_NOQ_WINDOW_SIZE && queue->unsent_size != 0)*/

I have experimented with seding fewer packets but i cant say i have had
any great results, but as always this could be OS dependent so try it out
on OSX and see what happens.

Dot forget the clear history issiue that you pointed out thats what i have
been working on (i mailed something out before right?). Than probably
makes quite the difference.
