I have seen exactly that on an identical network (Gb server, 8.04.1
x86_64, 4*tc)and described it on this list a few months ago. I have no
advice for you and it continues to be this way on my small network. I
would love to know if somebody has some ideas to troubleshoot this.

Some things I have been able to determine while this
slowdown-due-to-peer-flash is happening:
1. server cpu usage is low (~15%)
2. server load is low (~0.3 on dual-core)
3. tc cpu usage is low
4. network usage is low (I have yet to see >20 MB/s Tx from the server
gigabit nic with 4 tc connected @100mbit each)

Because this problem is affecting all tcs, it must lie with the server
or the network, no? I'm not sure where else to look because I see no
symptoms of overload on either of these.
