While these numbers seem to be true for the RX/TX tests between domU <-> 
dom0, they don't apply to the domU <-> other physical node on lan. The 
RX is fine, on my 100mbit lan I get about 94 / 95mbit. But the TX is 
very poor: only 18-20mbit. This has been since all versions I've tested 
before, but of course hoped this one would make the difference. I've 
compared the results with a Linux domU PV, which does perform as 
expected (94-95mbit for both RX/TX).
