Sounds like you're running NT :-)
Please be a bit more specific about what "slow" means. Generally, you should
see numbers around 500 kBps for reading and 600 for writing.
You can use Helios LanTest to check, available as
ftp://ftp.helios.com/pub/utilities/LanTest-2.0.1.sea.hqx (also via AFP/TCP)
Try the same from a terminal session using dd. Check what the server and the
network are doing during these pouses.
