1.2 to 1.3 MBps seems low for 100Mbps Ethernet signalling rate.
If window sizes, network adapters, intermediate Ethernet switches,
duplex settings, system buses, etc are all set up correctly, you
should see 5 to 9 MBps end to end transfer rates.

Yes, but consider that 10X of that improvement is due to the base
signalling rate of the Ethernet layer (100Mbps vs 1000Mbps).
