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...

I tested using three computers, all on a 100mbit network. The two Win2k3's are on the same VLan, the WinXP is connected through a switch. This is all with jumbo frames enabled.
Win2k3 #1
IOmeter
Read IOps: 31.5 Mbps: 7.9
Write IOps: 31.5 Mbps: 7.8
FTP
Read Mbps: 0.79
Write Mbps: 5.9
Win2k3 #2
IOmeter
Read IOps: 31.15 Mbps: 7.8
Write IOps: 31.10 Mbps: 7.6
FTP
Read Mbps: 0.4
Write Mbps: 6.45
WinXP
IOmeter
Read IOps: 51.7 Mbps: 12.9
Write IOps: 57.9 Mbps: 14.5
FTP
(had some connection issues, never got a chance to test)
The FTP reads are still unbelievably slow, but at least windows file sharing is respectable for a 100mbit network.
