 I think

 wmiconfig -i eth0 --power maxperf

 should only work as root but it seems to have an effect even if I run it
 as a normal user.

 Ok, thanks! After ./wmiconfig -i eth0 --power maxperf I get

Comment(by BillK):

 I should have posted a link as well as its a standard - basic explanation
 here:
 "http://features.techworld.com/mobile-wireless/4103/a-guide-to-wi-fi-
 power-save-technologies/"

 Contrary to article, powersaving can be quite large (as it is in the
 moko).  Downside is not only the effects you noticed, but inability to
 connect to some AP's, poor performance in general, poor(er) sensitivity in
 low signal conditions and "odd things happening with the link :)"

 Usually first thing I check when a laptop does not work well over wifi, as
 it seems to often be the cause of the trouble.
