hmmm that's surely less efficient than just two (in my experience) - is
it supposed to *accelerate* something ??? (maybe in the case of a DSL
pipe, but not on a fat gig ethernet)

11,7 MB/sec, this seems like you are maxing out a 100 Mb link (in
practice I never observed more than 10 Mb/s on such a link but my
experience is quite limited)
however it could be that you are hitting the hard disk write capacity of
the receiver machine (it is not a limitation of the hard drive itself
but the elevator algo. and NTFS driver) especially in the case of seven
simultaneous streams ... if you send the received data to something
like /dev/null maybe ... or try again with the specific setup I
mentioned ...
