Gaming iperf you can get close to theoretical maximums on wire connections, but if you're just on a 10/100 network looks liek you've got everything working properly. Real world performance (for me) sits at around 400Mb/sec for medium (4-100MB) files, 600Mb/sec for large (100MB+) files. Files under 4MB are effectively instantaneous.
