I've reached almost 118 MB/s but I don't have access to the
configuration atm. This was from a windows 7 client. From vmware I've
gotten 107 MB/s during a debian 6 server installation. I'll post the
settings when I get back to work. You could verify that there are no
mismatch between the nics.

Have you tried a plain scp of a large file and some rsync of ie. the
ports-tree (with distfiles)?
