I've seen similar data on my backups, but generally, only with very small backup sizes (less than 1GB). When I back up over 1GB, the rates increase dramatically, although backup from the Windows server is still only about 1/2 to 1/3 the Linux server rate. Before you get too concerned, try a bigger backup (3-5GB) and see what the performance is. With your small backups, it is probably mostly due to the ratio of overhead to actual data.
