Those are good numbers to see :-) Are you using Phase V or Phase IV DECnet onthe
VMS side? ISTR there is some extra flow-control going on in the Phase V (in
Phase IV emulation mode) that makes it faster than "real" phase IV. You can
tweak with by putting window sizes into

/proc/sys/net/decnet/no_fc_max_cwnd

so it might go even faster...
