I initially misread this to mean you did your testing over "localhost".  And
had you said that (which you didn't), I was going to mention that I was
recently surprised to find that localhost is actually quite slow: I was
doing some UDP-vs-TCP transfer tests and found localhost would max-out well
before the 100Mbps network interface.  

If my memory serves, localhost topped out around 1MBps.
