Jeff:

Can you look at the recent changes to the net/next tree/branch?

On a slow connection -- I saw things go from 15:28 download (tftpblocksize == 
1468) to 1:47 (tftpblocksize == 16268) - more than a 8x difference.

Even if you look at the your stated time of 50min - that should drop it to a 
more reasonable ~6ish....
