I googled about Jumbo Frames ("jumbo frames impact") and 2 top hits are 
very interesting:
http://sd.wareonearth.com/~phil/jumbo.html
http://www.chelsio.com/jumbo_enet_frames.html

I guess if you are not happy with speed provided by Realtek you should 
definitely buy more expensive NIC's with support of 9000K packets.
