Despite a correctness issue (likely race) in posix mmap,
macOS completed its 16GB milestone run in 1.61 hrs.
The 8GB @ LF10 runs hit a wall, so I backed that off to 12GB @ LF 7.25 to find the inflection point.
But it's safe to say at this point that all OSs are pretty close to network limited starting from 16GB, validation is reasonable on all three down to 16GB, and excellent from 24GB.
