Don't trust this if you're staying on the same machine.  On AIX, at least,
you're going to be pushing the loopback, regardless of which IP you try to
use.  Watching monitor -a while you attempt these exercises can be very
helpful there.

On my SP, I got about 100 Mb on both 100Mb and Gb interfaces; I thought I
might be running into some dd bottleneck or something, but the switch
interface was rock-solid at >200Mb.  (which seems slow, for a SP Switch, but
that's a different problem)
