This looks to me like a textbook duplex-mismatch situation. I expect
that if you had configured the switch port for full-duplex mode it
would have worked just as well if not better. Without knowing what
switch you're using it's difficult to say.
I have seen a huge number of problems with duplex mismatches over the
years. Every vendor has problems, and they are all different
problems. In short, if you want to be sure things will work,
manually set both the switch and the host to the same speed and
duplex settings. After you've done that, test it to make sure.
When someone says they can only get 50k to 80k through a FastE,
duplex mismatch is the first place I look. In my opinion, duplex
negotiation should be taken out and shot....
