Network Speed Testing Results

I was wondering if anyone has used Helios Lan Test to test the speeds on the network between clients and servers. I have run tests on OS9, OSX clients to Windows 2K Servers running various flavors of AFP. The servers all remain on GB Ethernet (single pipe and LACP pipe) and all I do is change from GB on the client to 100 MB on the client.

The big question is what do the results really mean; I understand the read/write times but what do the other measurements really mean? I find it very interseting that my DP 500 MHz G4 can run circles around my DP 2.3 GHz G5 on a 100 MB network.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris
