Are you sure it is network performance, how about local disk I/O. If you're using IDE drives could be hdparm settings that are to blame.
Could it be that the NICs are set to half-duplex in an otherwise full-duplex ethernet network?

Another possibility is that the NIC/driver and hub/switch may not auto-negotiate correctly. This may require that both ends are manually set for 100/Full to get the best and most reliable performance. Stan
