Most likely not. But if you _really_ want to play with this, the two
settings are FILE_BUFFER_SIZE and RETR_BUFFER_SIZE. You probably want
to keep them within a half of your L2 cache size, but possibly larger
than the default.

If you're really into performance, then Solaris/x86 is probably the
wrong choice. I suggest that you try with Linux and compare. We'd be
interested to hear of your results.
Oh, and I don't mean to start a flame too. :-)
