the header to data size ratio is a small factor (but with a header of ~50 
bytes, you don't save _that_ much)

but I thought the huge advantage to jumbo frames was eliminating the gap 
between packets. back in the 1Mb network days, this gap size was not 
significant (a few bits work), but as networks have gotten faster, the gap 
has not gotten smaller by the same ratio.

you guys are probably closer to the raw numbers than I am, but what it the 
total throughput of a network (including header data as throughput) for 
various packet sizes (64 byte, 1500 byte, 9000 byte)
