John, 
It is abysmal because the NIC and the Ethernet are both gigabit. 
Thanks,
Chris

ODBC is known to be very chatty and inefficient, so you have to add
quite a bit of overhead for the protocol itself (though I don't know how
much).  Even so, you're right, that's pretty poor performance over 100MB
ethernet and it would be abysmal for a gigabit link.
