You must remember that the 10Gbps is the max. theoretical speed, data will probably travel much slower than that. Remember also that with ethernet type technology, in any one segment there may be many nodes(not just 2) wanting to transmit at the same time, of course when there are many machines they all want to transmitt.

Especially if they're running Windows networking :-)
