Tried it, no difference is noticeable. I'm suspecting windows just can't
feed it fast enough.
If I run multiple smbtar's at once, the rate goes up a bit more, but still
plateau's at around 3 meg a second. Watching vmstat on a p4/2.53, i'm
seeing 20,000 context switches a second, and something like 4000 packets a
second on the ethernet.
The pentium 133 at another plant can pull files off the network just as
fast as the p4/2.53, for whatever reason.
