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...

Competition? No, but it was you that asked the question "How's this?" so presumably you wanted to be compared with how others are performing, and my assessment of your figures is that they're not very good (and you could have worked that out for yourself by reading the other posts in this thread).

Perhaps you should have made that clear in your original post - those cables do look shocking, can't imagine untwisting all those twisted pairs is going to help the signal quality much.
If you want to test your raw performance, plug your PC directly into your Pro using a patch cable (preferably one that still has twisted pairs) - once you have determined a baseline, any deviance from that is almost certainly due to your cabling, or your D-Link router. Jumbo Frames may help a bit, but it's no big deal if your network won't support them.
