It does.  One thing I would immediately recommend is to *not* run the
client on the same box as the server.  This pulls resources away from
the server process and has a significant impact on both client and
server performance.  
Basically what will happen is the two processes will reach an
equilibrium point where neither can reach maximum throughput, only a
balance (the faster the client goes, the slower the server goes and vice
versa).
