Subject: Expected transfer rate for Appletalk?

Hi all!
Current config:
PowerBook G3 with OS 9.0.4
RedHat 6.1 with kernel 2.4.3 and netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3
Both machines have 100 Mbps interfaces.
I don't get fast transfers between those 2 machines when I copy stuff over
with AppleTalk...
What sould I expect as transfer rate between those machine? I know that
AppleTalk couldn't be as fast as FTP (same thing for NetBios in Windows'
world), but it is *really* slow.... (10 minutes for a 130 Mo file...)
There are 3 machines on the same 10/100 switch => no traffic at all.
I have the same kind of problem with FTP:
When I ftp to my Linux machine using Win2K, I can get 2000-4000Kb/sec...
Using Fetch 4.0 from my G3, I just get 50-200 Kb/sec transfers...
What can I "tweak" on Mac to go faster? Should I recompile netatalk with
special switches?
Thanx
