The latency is quite high and grows too fast from 0 to 8 bytes. But most of all, 
the bandwidth should be constant with at least 80MB/s, better >100MB/s for large 
messages. Something is wrong, probably with your ethernet setup. I remember such 
effects for half/full-duplex mismatch with 100Mb auto negotiation problems 
between NIC and switch.
