I saw something similar when an OS/X machine was having slow
transfers while the BSD's were not.

When I did a traceroute to the adjacent machine which was on a
separate /24 network, the packets went to the switch, to the
router which tne sent it back to the switch, and to the
destination.   I don't know what prompted me to perform a
traceroute between two machines that were on the same switch, but
it was two hops instead of just direct.  There was also an
intervening bridge - post switch / pre router that added delay.

This was on a Cisco 2948.

This may have nothing to do with your problem and you didn't
indicated if the machines were on the same subnet or not.
Just throwing this out as a point of interest.
