So I think you've said network benchmarks are OK, disc benchmarks are OK, but
a copy over the network is slow.

What happens if you run a disc benchmark at the same time as a network benchmark;
even though the two aren't related? Can you keep the disc busy writing even when
the network is being pushed?
