Is that the Cirrus ep93xx? If yes, then you're only getting 3 MB/s
because the ethernet MAC is lame and the machine is running out of CPU
because it needs to copy and checksum every packet in software -- if
you'll profile it you'll see that it spends most of its time copying
stuff around, and the TCP overhead is minor in comparison.
