Post your performance results
I thought it might be interesting to see what kind of performance everyone is getting with IO Meter so that we can compare what we're getting. So I thought we could all post our results in this thread...

New SMC-GS5 gigabit (jumbo) switch. No jumbo frames.
Dreadful.

OK, so I increase my switch 10x, but my performance goes up a meagre 50%? I understand that jumbo frames will help write, but read is in the toilet... it is operating at a theoretical 122 MBit -- not 1000 MBit.
Note, this is after rebooting and disabling Antivirus, and every program and service running. Before this "clean reboot:"
Read: 14.68
(so, my NAV, with Outlook replicating every minute, my read was only 0.64 mbit worse)
Yeah, I may try a direct connection cable, but at this point, I am vastly disappointed; I expect better than 0.12 GBit performance out of a gigabit device... I may try a separate GBit NIC, but my "as-is" PC can natively do better with other GBit personal computers on a gbit network...
Definitely you should eliminate the switch first with direct connect. Most likely it is something like auto negotation failed. I highly recommend to manually set your speed/duplex on each device. This is a very common and overlooked problem.
