No, but 1-2MB is crappy for 10bT, much less 100bT.

I get 8MB/s or so on my LAN

# rsync --progress CD_Image.dmg /Volumes/POCRAP/
    913342464  33%    8.84MB/s    0:03:38

/Volumes/POCRAP/ is my secondary drive on the wintendo machine

I get ~35MB/s making a local copy from one disk (SATA) to another  
(SATA).

I get ~20MB/s making a local copy from one disk (SATA) to another  
(PATA).

The LAN is fast enough to stream DVD quality DiVX/Xvid to the  
wintendo for display on the TV.
