Chances are you may find it is the same problem affecting both machines
just to a greater degree on the 9.0 box.  For example I regularly
transfer files between 1 and 2GB between my desktop and my storage
server at home (most videos), I can transfer a 2GB file in approx 5
minutes.  2hrs is extroadinarily excessive.  There is something really
wrong with that.

There is nothing fancy or clever in my network at home, as stated before
it's simply running 100hdx with a dumb hub, not even a switch at this
time.

I have no idea what underlying network you run, I'm assuming ethernet
and I'm assuming at least 100hdx if not 100fdx or GigE.
