any
client set to auto detect is only very slow if there is a misconfiguration in
the chain.
auto neg has worked flawlessly for years assuming both sides
are configured to auto.
The
documented (IEEE 802.3??) behaviour if one side is auto and the other side
hardcoded is for the auto neg configured side to go to 100Mb/s Half Duplex.
(lowest common denominator.)
Since
the "hardcoded" side is usually set to FULL, you end up with a duplex mismatch
which kills performance.
If
you've still got old Sun HME cards ardoun, there is some auto-meg issues with
those, in combination with some older Cisco versions, but for the most part,
Auto is where it's at.
Auto
is actually a requirement for proper flow control in GigE.

did you check network settings on the NIC? Is it set to
100/Full (or whatever your network standard is)? I find any Windows
clients set to auto detect run very slow.
