It's probably the extra 2 NIC's that are making the difference. Unless you can keep the tape drive and I think you mentioned more than one, continuously fed with data at better than 40MB or so a second, per drive, the tape stops, backs up and starts again and this has a huge impact on throughput due to the time taken for this cycle to complete. Once any initial spool is exhausted, the drive will just stutter along in bursts.
