What TTRT do you use?

What is the aggregate ring bandwidth that you use?  (in other words,
(microseconds while some station is transmitting data) / 1000000)

What is the maximum TCP/IP speed you can do between any pair of
stations?

I wouldn't be surprised if no or few of your 5 stations do TCP/IP on
their own behalf, so maybe this is the better question;
what is the maximum forwarding rate (either bridging or routing) in
Bytes/sec between any pair of stations?
