I agree. When I was teaching some people how to do network booting and 
thin client stuff, we were using 2 clients on a 10mbps hub based network 
(so 3 boxes total), and performance was usable but not good.
I have tried 13 clients on a 100mbps network, and it was actually not 
too bad. Slowness with that was mostly the major lack of RAM in our 
server at the time.
