Hmm. A little more research shows winsock's internal behavior -- 
transfers, waitiong for ack, allocating internal buffers -- is very 
sensitive to the size of so_sndbuf (winsock default 8192) and the packet 
size (ethernet default 1560). See if one of these options gives better 
performance:

Also, what is the value of
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\TcpWindowSize
