Not unless you're running both a client and server at each end.  iperf
is only send or receive (by default).  Even at that, you'd max out at
20 Mb.  If your ifconfig says it's 100 Mb, it's 100 Mb.

I'd look elsewhere.  Messing with speed and duplex is more likely to
cause problems (duplex mismatch) than anything.  Unless you have a
duplex mismatch already, are both ends negotiating the same duplex? 
If so, what are the specs of your hardware?
