Play around with netperf and iperf and similar message sizes and report the
figures.  Note that testing tools, especially Microsoft's tttcp tool are
for networking testing not actual expected performance of real world
applications.  Windows performs best when you load up a few large messages
not rapidly firing many small packets, but you are also fighting against
the smaller schedular quantum of the desktop OS compared with the server
editions.

Note that the TCP stack has been rewritten twice since XP was first
released for both 2008 and 2008 R2 so you indeed might be able to find
suitable registry settings to aid performance levels.
