Perhaps the following might be worth a try (though it's guesswork from
me)

1. does anything noticable happen to CPU usage on your win32 box when
you use pscp?

2. if you sniff packets between them, you might be able to see a pattern
of who is being tardy with their responses

3. is there any unanswered DNS going on that it's timing out on?

4. is putty's ssh similarly slow (you might test it by doing something
like ls -laR / and seeing how fast it scrolls)?

5. if you boot from knoppix, does the scp work better?

As I say, these are guesses.  HTH.
