Ethernet is using MSI interrupts with no sharing.
I do see sharing on a very busy USB port, but I doubt that this is the
cause for the slow down.
Doesn't look like a hardware / driver configuration problem to me.

Just to be certain, if you copy files from the USB drive to you local
HD, do you see the same problem?
