[SNIP slow network xfer...]

Most likely the NIC in the new box is not configured correctly, and is 
re-negotiating all the time.  This can be particularly nasty if you are 
talking to a switch that doesn't quite do auto-negotiation properly.

I set my NICs to fixed speed and fixed full-duplex, to try and avoid 
these problems, but they still pop up from time to time.  Sigh.

	Cheers,
