With this configuration, you should be pretty good at reading large files,
or repeat-reading random files that you've recently read.  Your write
performance could be lower.  And you would have really poor sync write
performance.

If reading a large sequential file, you should be able to max out Gb
Ethernet.  But the system you're receiving the file to can only go as fast
as a single disk, unless you've got something like a hardware raid
controller.  Still, you should be able to get approx 60 Mbytes/sec across
CIFS, where the bottleneck is your laptop hard drive, where you're receiving
the file.

The test I would recommend, would be:  "time cp
/Volumes/somemount/somefile.iso ." on a mac, and in windows running cygwin,
"time cp /cygdrive/someletter/somefile.iso ."

That should be an apples-to-apples test, which would really give you some
number you know is accurate.
