OT: Effective Speed of 10BaseT

I'm wondering what the effective speed of 10Mbit Ethernet is. I've got a DEC 3000/300LX that just isn't giveing me the kind of Xfer rates I expect, and I'm wondering/suspecting there is a problem with my calculations. Using a pair of PDF's totalling 24.6MB as my test I'm getting 8.34MB/Min, yet I'd expect it to be closer to 72MB/Min. The machine on the other end is a G4/450 PowerMac with 100BaseT, plugged into a 10/100Mbit switch, the DEC3000 is plugged into a 10/100Mbit hub which in turn is connected to the switch. Of course part of this could be the 21064/125 processor, and part of it could be the fact I'm using Appletalk. Zane | Zane H.
