What hardware are you running on? If you've dug up an old machine to run 8.1 on, you may be being bit by non-network related problems. Specifically, Gazzelle-based machines (Power Mac 55xx, 65xx, 20th Anniversary) have problems doing async I/O to the internal ATA drive with VM on; on such a machine an async I/O is actually handled synchronously, which works but can produce exactly the symptoms you described.

If that isn't it, try instrumenting your interrupt time code (possibly using the Instrumentation SDK) to see how long each of the async calls are taking to return and how long before their completion routines are called.
