We run a digital media firm here (digital video, audio, graphics, etc). So we don't move lots of files, just really big ones. We have just this setup, although we are running 2.2.8-STABLE. Netatalk works fine here. Although it can be a little slow, but no slower than appletalk on ethernet anyway. Since there is a mixture of MacOS 7.5 and 8.x clients on the network, it's slower as well. Having said that, we have found it faster many times to move the file to the server, and then to another machine. That way all the Macs don't have to have File Sharing on. They just mount the hard drive. Make sure you run the asun patches to netatalk 1.4b2, since he seems to be the only person currently developing netatalk. If you use the port, it'll take care of that. It's one of those things that I set up two years ago, and have forgotten about, since it runs without a hitch.
