Test: Copy 2 GiB file from XP box to Vista box. Copy same 2 GiB file from Vista box to XP box.
Hypothesis: Speeds will be the same.
Result: Speeds are not the same.
Vista box (source) --> XP Box (destination) - time to completion ~49 seconds (~40 MB/S)
XP box (source) --> Vista Box (destination) - time to completion ~104 seconds (~20 MB/S)
Interesting that the vista box hosted the file quickly, but then wrote the file slowly.
