.. in addition to prior advices 
lowering the runtime priority of tsm service 
might (or might not) help - depending on other factors.

On my laptop manualy lowering TSM Scheduler priority does help much, 
but here is the hard disk the bottleneck, not the network.
Anyway, if less CPU causes TSM to generate disk access less often, 
the same could be valid for network access.
.. Unless TSM is the only application significantly coping for CPU ressourcen 
at the given time.

Unfortunately, there is up to my knowledge no windows native method for 
permanent change of task/service priority,
so you´d have to play around third party tools, like 
http://www.prnwatch.com/prio.html.
I have NOT tried this tool in conjuction wit TSM Scheduler, but ist should work.
