Doesn't seem right to me.

These are 4-stable 1-GHz Pentium IIIs doing UDP on a switched
100-Mbit/s network with GA620Ts.  For TCP, it's a little bit worse:

Results are actually a little bit better on my six-months-ago-current
desktop (an 800-MHz Pentium III with i82559).  These machines are all
under some level of network load, so the results for a clean system
should be even better.
