hmm, so what will happen now when switching from full to half duplex? Will it just hang? If so
that doesn't seem like an improvement.

Increasing both TX and RX from 16 to 64 seems a bit much. I got away with
just increasing RX to 32. What memory are the BD ring using, the internal or external RAM?
