If I do an NFS mount and copy a large file from the server to /dev/null on the client or if I scp a file between the server and client I get pretty much the same results, about 11MB (that's bytes) per second. This is only about 10% better than 100baseT ethernet. I know from previous experiments that my hard drives and general system throughput can handle about 25MB/sec.
If you are seeing 10 MibiBytes per second on a 100baseT, you effectively have no network traffic on it. Must be nice. That's one reason why you are seeing practically no increase.
Second, I think you need to bump the default TCP packet size. On a network that small, the TCP window is probably filling and throttling the transfer rate.
Make sure your systems are sending 9000+ byte packets rather than just 1500+ byte packets.
