Does the throttling only happen with multi-channel enabled
or also without it?

Could well be that some buffers are filled on the
Windows/receiving side and a disk is becoming a
bottleneck?

What happens if you write to Samba instead of reading
from it?

What happens if you write to a ramdisk?

Just some thoughts.
