Whats about performance and stability with MTU > 1500? I tried increasing MTU on my Intel-made servers to speed-up NFS, but both 5.3 em and 2.x Intel provided drivers get stuck after some time with interface in OACTIVE state.

The same happened to us too, but I tracked it down to certain built-in NICs on Mainboards. I had good success with NatSemi NICs, too. Especially at even larger MTUs.
