Solved, I needed to set SendBufferSize because on windows platform Apache
takes by default 4KB
This is documented in "listen.c"
/*
* To send data over high bandwidth-delay connections at full
* speed we must force the TCP window to open wide enough to keep the
* pipe full. The default window size on many systems
* is only 4kB. Cross-country WAN connections of 100ms
* at 1Mb/s are not impossible for well connected sites.
* If we assume 100ms cross-country latency,
* a 4kB buffer limits throughput to 40kB/s.
*
* To avoid this problem I've added the SendBufferSize directive
* to allow the web master to configure send buffer size.
*
* The trade-off of larger buffers is that more kernel memory
* is consumed. YMMV, know your customers and your network!

* If no size is specified, use the kernel default.

>If I fetch the same file from an instance of Apache version 2

>The file in question is 10 MB big.

>So according to this tests, to me it is not an ethernet

>The only conclusion that I can make is that it seems that
>Apache sets or force the trasmit tcp window (not honoring
>client declared receive window, or host setting ) in some
>limiting way so that on high latency clients the problem shows
>up ( but not on local lan ethernet where latency is very low ).
