I assume the speed of the virtual network only depends on the speed of the cpu. I never tested pure virtual speed, only when bridged with a ethernet card. On a Gigabit card from realtek the transfer speed to another computer was about 20 MByte per second (measured with netio, both cpus 2 GHz Athlon XP). I expect the speed to the windows host without bridging to be higher. |
