Could be the new SNP networking "feature" that gets turned on by default when you install SP2.

I didn't see if the problem was resolved, but here is a fix if it wasn't.

Here is a link to a MS article that explains the fix/workaround for poor network performance on a server after SP2 was installed. I worked with Argonne on an exchange backup problem where performance was 2 Mb/sec from the exchange server. I was able to track this back to starting on May 29th (the same day they did and SP2 upgrade). They implemented this KB article on the Exchange server and the transfer speeds are now back up between the 50-70 Mb/sec range. Just thought I would share it in case you run into something like that. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936594
