I've seen that posted, but in my experience it is not true. Packet Loss results in a steep decline in TCP speeds, which can destroy performance. I discovered that when streaming HD video to my NTV550. With flow control off, there was a lot of stuttering. Turning on flow control immediately solved the problem.
Perhaps, but note that in this case it was NFS performance over UDP (not TCP) that was poor until flow control was enabled. There was no noticeable problem with NFS over TCP.
