Since you are using 10/100 NICs, why not use a 100baseT Hub? You can find
them pretty cheap off of the internet and would probably give you the speed
boost you want. Like it was said below, 10Mb/s is only 1.25 MB/s, not 10
MB/s. So on a 10baseT network you are running at a MAX of 10 MegaBITS
per second.
