I am basing my observations on the fact that the network lights on my
hubs and server are always blinking like mad

IMHO not the most precise of benchmarks :-)

an I can see a marked
difference in the speed of my network if I unplug all of my
Squeezeboxes. It seems to have gotten much worse since I went from two
Squeezeboxes to four Squeezeboxes.

This is strange. I'm using five boxes, four of them wirelessly at 54Mb - and do surf, print and everything on the same network. You're talking about 1000Mb, 20x my bandwith with less players. There must something be wrong.

The server I am running, runs on linux and if I check dmesg there will
be hundreds of lines of server contacting each of the various
Squeezeboxes in just a few seconds.

dmesg is about boot messages, isn't it? I can't see anything slimserver related in there.

Could you do some actual measures? Please try netio or something to give some numbers.
