It's probably the extra 2 NIC's that are making the difference. Unless 
you can keep the tape drive and I think you mentioned more than one, 
continuously fed with data at better than 40MB or so a second, per 
drive, the tape stops, backs up and starts again and this has a huge 
impact on throughput due to the time taken for this cycle to complete. 
Once any initial spool is exhausted, the drive will just stutter along 
in bursts.
