Have you checked the client? Have you checked its network statistics? CPU
usage? I/O wait?
Have you tried to monitor the network traffic? There might be errors in the
TCP/IP stack. A know problem is a delayed TCP ACK. That will hurt
throughput a lot.
If you are using client side compression, it might be adviceable to turn if
off for the image files. Use a .nsr file to do this.
