Assuming an image size of 800x600, which is roughly what you seem to be using, your raw image size is around 1.4MB - which should give you >5FPS. I strongly suggest to upgrade to Gigabit ethernet, a switch and 4 cards should be around 100 Euros. The communication pattern (many-to-one) tends to be an issue for some network cards due to congestion on the destination host. The 0.6 tree contains a patch (sendToken) which you might try. Otherwise better compression should help you to get better performance. Again, the 0.6 tree has a patch (tightRLE), which is also already applied in the trunk. We are currently working on a plugin interface for compression which will be published with a few plugins. You can then write your own.
