I ran some more tests this morning.  The first bump in the graph
has the setting above.  Seems to work pretty good.

The second is using RENO.  Also good, and a small bit of higher over-all
throughput (about 555-560Mbps of RX throughput).

Third is 'highspeed'.  It ramps up quickly, but seems a bit more jagged, and
not quite as fast as RENO.

The last graph is this setting (with hystart_detect set back to 3,
which was the default on my system).

This is better than stock cubic, but it still is awful compared
to the others.
