It really varies. I routinely get 95Mbit real-world throughput across
my 100Mbit network; I know other people using different hardware or
different configurations who've never seen 90Mbit. Gigabit is the same
way. If you're getting 940Mbit throughput you're doing well, but
remember that actual application throughput may not hit that.
