That's pretty high! Seems you're using a switch.
I just get 3,5 MB/s in both directions using 905b NIC's and a hub, 
+-100kb, usually reading is slightly higher than writing.
(my clients are slow and I still use 1.19.P8)

1. You could have some kind of network problem.

2. Maybe you implemented to many protocols in Win. Just use TCP/IP.

Q. Is it just one client accessing one file or a multiple client environment?

Please supply some additional information 
like the versions of your Samba and underlying Unix.
