Gigabit ethernet rarely runs full out constantly, something, (ram, cpu, interface, swith-latency....) mucks things up.

Some fraction say 50% is good, if it is copper, unless the systems are smoking "gaming" systems or of very high quality resources. emerge iotop (then rebuild kernel) Rebuild your kernel to use "iotop" and see what happens. You may need to tweak your kernel parameters to optimize IO operations..... (just gessing here).... hth, James
