Just to add a similar data point:
On my gigabit network, NFS from my backend (Athlon64 X2 4600+, 2GB RAM)
to a G5 tower gets about 18MB/s for any size transfer from 350MB to
1.5GB. If I then delete the file from the G5 and copy the exact same
file again I reach speeds of up to 56MB/s (according to IPNetMonitor - a
Mac network tool which graphs network transfers in real time - so it's
not just a cached file at the Mac end)
In fact if I copy a large enough file, but stop it at about 50%, delete
the incomplete transfer, then recopy it, the speed peaks at 56MB/s+
until the point where I canceled it, then it drops back down to around
16MB/s for the remainder of the copy.
701MB file 43s via NFS (1st run) vs 0.15s (2nd run)
