Ronnie,

Can you provide a benchmark for your system?  What's its spec and how many
Mbit/s can you capture to file with less than say 1 in a million packets
being lost?

FWIW I just XCopyed 500MB of data from my PC (1.5Ghz Xeon WinXP with Intel
Pro/100S) to a similar one. Data transfer rate was 50-60Mbit/s throughout
and tethereal was running at 60-70% of CPU. I lost 0.5% of the packets.
