For a more accurate measurement, try out Iperf.

Most often, I find that poor performance is due to crappy nics...

Also, bad drivers are just as much to blame as bad nics.

Hubs and poor switches have the same effect as well, with poor bandwidth/collision management and a weak backplane they can adversly affect both latency and bandwidth.
