Re: performance problems with TOE
Seems like a bad driver, or the hardware itself, i can only advise turning TOE engine off.

Re: performance problems with TOE
Given the somewhat limited power budgets in an I/O card (IIRC O(25Watts)) and some of the recent spikes in Intel host CPU performance, knuth only knows where the tipping point lies these days.
It might be interesting to try some simple benchmarking with something like netperf. The natural inclination is to just run a bulk transfer test (eg TCP_STREAM, the netperf default) but in this case I think I would suggest a TCP_RR test comparing TOE on to off, and also some aggregate TCP_RR testing - either via the configure --enable-burst or/and with multiple netperfs running. Bulk transfers (particularly when/if coupled with large MTUs) can hide a multitude of performance ills. http://www.netperf.org/

Re: performance problems with TOE
After I installed SP2, network performance become extremely slow. I then unchecked to disable TOE, RSS, Chimney in the Network Utility. Also I modified the registry with values:
1. DisableLargeSendOffload = 1
2. DisableTaskOffload = 1
3. EnableRSS = 0
4. EnableTCPA = 0
5. EnableTCPChimney = 0
Afterward the network performance got a bit fast but still slow.
This happens when the traffic is thur a WAN Link. You may say that the problem is on the Router/Switch/WAN Link but there is no problem to the IBM servers with same OS.
Here is the reply from Microsoft Support:
I reviewed the netmon traces. The W2k3 SP2 computer still delayed 200~400ms to retransmit some packets. Based on our test, I suspected the problem is on the NIC driver or firmware side.
