It all depends on your packet size.  With 1500 byte packets I would
certainly hope you get 100% of a 100Mb/s link.  With 64 byte packets
I would say 60% is pretty darn good.

I am told the "internet" runs with an "average" packet size of around
300 bytes (remember all those acks).  I don't believe your standard
(fast) Intel box will do 100% of a 100Mb/s link with 300 byte packets.
