Thanks for the pointer to iperf Joris!

Below are results using iperf, which look more promising.
* The vm is the iperf client
* Each iperf test was 10 minutes with X parallel threads.
* I ran each test 3 times.
* Performance in Mbits/S is the sum of all parallel threads.

This is on a core i5 iMac running virtualbox.

On a Xeon Linux/kvm box (same box w/ original scp results I mentioned), the results are all over the place:
