[microblaze-uclinux] Is the standard tcp/ip stack slow??



We've finally got our ML505 board booting PetaLinux 0.40-rc3 !!  Things generally seem to work.  We're using the TeMac ethernet module.  When our other engineer had been testing his design with a raw Ethernet connect, he said he was getting 400Mbit/second throughput  (I don't know what tools he was using to test this). 

With PL loading and running, though, we're only able to get about 13Mbit/second through the network!! 

We've connected directly to a Quad Core machine running WinXP SP2, connecting with a short 1000Mbit crossover cable.  The boards were able to connect at 1Gbit.  However, when I attempt ftp transfers to/from the box, I'm getting 1.8Mbps into the board, and 13Mbps out of the board.  What is going on here??  Is this because of the default tcp/ip stack?  Our HW engineer saw another tcp/ip stack somewhere that he says claims to get over 100Mbps, but I'm hesitant to try to rip out the installed stack and link something else in.  Is that really necessary?
