4th 512K took 434 ms = 1179.7 KB/sec, approx 9721 Kbps, 9.49 Mbps
Overall Average Speed = approx 9356 Kbps, 9.14 Mbps
Consistently I get this under Linux, but ca. 5 Mbps under WinXP.
Any ideas?

well , it would point to a software issue rather than a hardware one, i asume its the same laptop dual booting to linux or your using a liveCD.
what happens when you boot to safe mode with networking in XP ?.
does that show the same speed as linux then, 2 options, made another boot partition and install windows again there and get a dual boot option at boottime, check speed is as should be and migrate your apps one at a time to see which if any are killing the speed.
or, just reinstall windows and hope for the best, you could try killing off the apps one at a time in your current working setup to see if that clears it and if so ,find a work around that app, but the dual booting 2 windows installs is the better option to longer term happyness, you can then make drive images far easyer and take far less time re-installing next time.
theres something amiss with your current windows install, thats for sure.
