TAP device == host interface networking. See the user manual for a
detailed description on how to set up this network interface on a
Linux host.

So could you check please if there is some difference in the performance
if you switch to E1000 instead?

For comparison: I have a Debian/Sid host here and a Debian/Etch guest
connected with a Ubuntu/Gutsy guest over an internal network. With
wget I achieve a data rate of ~48 MByte/s from one VM to the other.

You might also check with traceroute in the guest that the network
packets are routed only through the internal network interface.

Kind regards,

Frank
