I think it's pretty misleading that the utility is so far out in the speeds it reports - how is it measuring these speeds and, more importantly, how do I get those reported speeds!!
I may well try tweaking transmit/receive buffers, jumbo frame size, windows TCP frame size and interrupt handling, although this should only be necessary to fine tune the network...
