Ethernet Transfer Rates

Dear List,

We transfer large files (>> 2 GB) across the network.  At "100 mb/sec"
it takes 13 minutes/2GB, much longer than the theoretical 100 mb/sec (12
MB/sec), and a Gigibit switch only decreases the time to 11 min / 2GB
file.  What goes on?  Are there software products or whatever that help
achieve closer to theoretical speeds?

Thanks in advance!

- Vard
