There's an easy way to test the speed limits of the network Vs the limits of 
the storage media.  Use netcat/telnet to send a large file across from tmpfs 
on host A to a tmpfs on host B.  As long as tmpfs is large enough to not start 
using swap, the speed will reflect what the network can achieve.
