Vern Paxson presented his work on tuning Lex at the 1987 Washington
USENIX conference. The proceedings had just an abstract, now
available here:

https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Documentation/Papers/TuningUnixLex_Jacobson_USENIX_Winter_1987_pp163_164.pdf

Is the full paper available anywhere? It looks like it'd be worthwhile
reading, even today.

Thanks,

Arnold
