Then I would suggest to disable AppleTalk on one NIC completely. Try

eth1 -phase 2

If the performance problems reappear then something is wrong with the way
your NIC can handle AppleTalk. In this case try:

eth1 -router -seed -phase 2 -net 1-1000 -addr 1000.142 -zone "*"

(or use another NIC, e.g. Asanté FriendlyNet with tulip driver)

Netatalk will then act as a router on one single interface (but I don't know
whether this will work with 1.5pre6 either. With earlier versions it did).

Regards,

Thomas
