I would think that not only would the Appletalk have some overhead, but the 
TCP/IP packets would also add just a bit to that overhead as well.  And then 
certainly Timbuktu Pro would have it's own bit of overhead mixed in there.  
Although probably none of these packages adds very much overhead, lots of a 
little can end up being a lot! :)
