Sheesh, the TCP and whatever else overhead is probably more than the 24 byte difference of 1024 vs 1000..

Did you ever try and calculate the difference?

1TiB = 1024GiB = 10241024MiB = 102410241024KiB = 1024102410241024 bytes...

1024^4 is 1099511627776 bytes...

So it's 1099 GB vs 1000 GB which is a solid 10% difference. Your TCP overhead is not anywhere close to 10% unless you are sending with an MTU of 240...
