For some reason we forget that IP packet processing on the client and server take a lot of CPU resources. Check your CPU utilization on both to see what is happening. My experience is a 450mhz x 4 P660 can process maximum of about 7 kb/sec. When we had only one gigabit interface that is what

What kind of performance are you seeing? I would expect a number greater than 20,000 KB/sec as reported by a client summary. I also would expect it to be highly variable and dependent on client speed. I believe that Gig E is going to be faster than just about anything else in all but the highest
