One thing I noticed recently is that when I was using the superhub and had hardware offload enabled for TCP traffic on my NIC (intel gigabit CT) then page loading times were significantly slower and tcp ramp up was affected. I then by accident turned it back on, basically I moved the network card to another slot which caused windows to rehash the drivers on default settings so offload enabled again and the issue is gone with me now on the VMNG300. All these type of little niggling issues which affect performance and sometimes stability. They add up.
