Packet skipping would seem to be a possible answer, though the client only needs to ack a few packets to keep things moving along.  If it is eventually unlucky enough to hit a skipped packet the attack ends.  I'd need to do the math, but 800k sounds right for an expected value, which is pretty high when you compare it to the cost of a handshake (around 1400 octets and some crypto for clients).
