I also discovered by using 'scp' to copy files between machines that the bad
performance is assymetrical: copying a file *to* this machine runs at about
half-speed (5 MB/sec) whereas copying a file *from* this machine runs at
45 KiloB/sec, about one percent of expected.

I have exactly the same problem on a asrock k7vt2 with VIA's Rhine II:
