Nor am I suggesting you do. This is purely a troubleshooting exercise for
me.

Transfer rates are affected by a lot of things.
The first thing you need to do is isolate where the bottleneck is. This
means you need to evaluate pure disk-to-disk transfer rates and make sure
you have optimized the caching and such. Then you can start looking a
network transfer rates.
>Would JFS work better?
Generally, yes. JFS handles larger volumes that HPFS; it performs better
when it can take advantage of the larger available cache sizes; and it
usually recovers quicker when a chkdsk is required.
One MB/sec is pretty slow, unless you have a 10Mb/sec bottleneck somewhere
in your network topology. Ten MB/sec is about right for a 100Mb/sec
ethernet link.
