Also, iftop on the LTSP server shows ~90Mb/s throughput when I run a 
youtube video. That translates to roughly 12 Megabytes per second. I 
would think thats not a lot for the switch? The speed of the ethernet 
card on the LTSP server is set at 100mb/s, so thats roughly 12 
megabytes. So I guess the ethernet card might be my bottle neck?

Are other people using gigabit ethernet for their LTSP environments?
