10Gb ports work fine, passing full 10Gb of traffic on those ports not so much, and we're nowhere near passing 10Gb of small size packets. (the limit is more to do with packets per second than speed). "do the upgrade to 10GbE" isn't specific enough as to what's needed to be able to give much usrful advice.
