Interesting. I knew someone that worked for an ISP in 90's who had an odd SGI workstation amongst their standard SUN boxes for hosting customer sites. The SGI box was regarded to be faster than the newer SUN boxes. Eventually all customers were migrated off of the SGI box except one customer who refused and threatened to sue. I wonder if the reason for the performance gains of the SGI were the same as yours.

I believe 802.11n reduced the interframe gap down to a two microseconds for transmissions to the same receiver.
