remembering correctly the Q-Bus backplane is only 3Mb/sec.
I still remember how much of a speed difference I saw going from
running Linux on a 486DX/33 with an ISA NIC, to a Pentium 133 with a
PCI NIC.

You obviously don't have any really old systems on your network.
I'm still at 1.5Mbps, and have systems on my network that can't
keep up with that.
I can attest to that! My 11/70 which is running 10Mbps ethernet
can
only ftp at ~25KB/s (and that's to a machine that's on the same
switch!).
