As per your own suggestion in another message, definitely benchmark
with iperf to see if that's better. And as we discussed in another
thread some time ago, (especially) if you're using wireless, benchmark
throughput in *both* directions, since the transmitter (or receiver) may
be better on one machine than on another.
