Don't think about throughput, think about latency. When I send a message out on a
MIDI cable, I have 100% certainty of when it will arive at its destination(s) within
constant bounded tolerances (1 ms.). Similar claims can not be made of ethernet.
Not that the limitations of MIDI don't bite me daily, but ethernet seems a lot like
the wrong tool for the job.
