Hi Jeff,
Have you tried the NAPI patch and the NAPI'fied e1000 driver? I'm not sure how far the development has come but I know it improves performance quite a bit versus the regular e1000 driver.
You'll find it here: ftp://robur.slu.se/pub/Linux/net-development/NAPI/
kernel/napi-patch-ank is the NAPI patch, you need to change the get_fast_time() call to do_gettimeofday() for it to compile.
e1000/ is the NAPI'fied e1000 driver, the latest release is from Jan 29 but there is a document that describes how you checkout the latest version via cvs.
I've never tried the e1000 NAPI driver since I don't have one of these boards but I use the tulip NAPI driver a lot here and it works great, impressive performance.
I hope you get better performance.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
