I tested it on the only situation I had where it was even remotely worth
the effort to try it: NFS over TCP via an old and overutilized router:
No measurable effect. I guess a web or mail server (read: something that
is not primarily bandwidth constrained and where latency matters) might
benefit more. But then again, how do you measure that reliably?
You also have to consider where the client might be. A long distance,
high bandwidth connection will benefit from different congestion control
mechanisms than a local low bandwidth connection.
