<You can increase the size of Windows disk transfers>
I know about this, but have no performance data
on what kind of difference it would make, and do
not have time anymore to do this myself. If you have
any web-available data, please post.

Thanks,

The main effect of that is to increase the size of the file cache. Will not make much difference unless you are reading data that is in the cache.

5MB/s is about what you'd expect, limited by the ability of the disk to physically find and get the data out. It is not a limitation of windows.
