If you have good hardware there is nothing much you need to tune.
How many users?
anyone had the chance to do a MIPS vs INTEL GB lan card?

More pertinent, today would be a 10GB comparison.
My systems regularly pegged a 1GB Intel card in sys-sys file copies
(125MB/s writes, 119MB/s reads)...
Best speeds I've gotten off of 2x10GB-has been in the 700MB range,
though typical is more likely in the 200-400MB range. HW/SW -- through
file server to null files tops out due to HW on both ends
(both Xeon Nehalams, one [email protected] other 6core at 3.4).
(Intel cards between them direct connect.
