After reading this post on slashdot 
http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/01/07/0533226/Bufferbloat-mdash-the-Submarine-Thats-Sinking-the-Net

(and the articles it referenced...  It took more than an hour) I started 
looking into it.  I am having symptoms of this on my own office network, 
and adjusting the txqueuelen on my access points has already shown 
improvement.  So I went looking in m0n0wall.  Uh...  FreeBSD ain't 
Linux. :)  So what is our ring and buffer size?  I may not be able to 
fix "The" net, but I can fix "My" net!
