As long as you don't mind having the Mac slowed down to a crawl
while the transfers are going, there is a solution to this...

There is a program for the Mac called PowerShare which lets you set
the CPU percentage allowed for sharing anywhere from 10% to 100%.
It works great, and did wonders for throughput. It's not ethernet,
but it's shareware, I believe. later,
