We are running 10 Gb/s for our cluster backbone while still using 1 Gb/s to the nodes, so it might be hard to come up with "hard facts" which are comparable. If you have a specific real world test program I can see if I can give you some numbers. If you just go according to data sheet numbers, we have this box operating here which claims a 1,6us latency from port to port. http://wovensystems.com/solutions/products/efx1000/ 10 Gb/s card-wise we have Neterion cards and two Myricom cards for evaluation, but have not done extensive latency tests since the Neterions are in our Sun storage servers. If you need more information, feel free to ping me off list.
