Sure SACKs turn off TSO currently, but you'll have them enabled
at the beginning until the first loss and this affects how fast
the cwnd will grow.
If you have e1000 cards, for example, you're getting TSO enabled
by default.
You really need to look into this, as it has a real and very
non-trivial effect on all of the results you obtained.
