>>> 8MBps over 100baseT full duplex, 2 nodes talking,

This figure stands alone. Have you tried Linux on the exact same setup? If so, what was the comparison? Only the comparison is of value here. One should also note that even if there are machines so fast that inefficient networking software can be overcome with hardware, a less efficient stack is still robbing the processor of cycles it could do other work with.
