At home I just replaced my 3-com hub with an 8-port d-link switch and then ran some tests which I found interesting and unexpected: transferring a test 650 meg file (a fbsd 4.3 install iso image) from my Power Mac G4 to my FreeBSD server via the new switch took 1:27 via Fetch (an FTP client for the mac) but only took about 1:05 via appletalk. My FreeBSD home directory was mounted as an apple volume via the chooser. my assumption was that the Appletalk/Netatalk combo would be slower than standard ftp via Fetch. When I tried these same tests with the hub connected I gave up interest in timing it because it was transferring so slow compared to the switch. It was evident that the switch was just blowing it away. Hope this helps.
