- what physical NIC model/brand?
- do you have a PV domU running? What performance you get from it?
- what does dom0 <-> external performance like?
- what does "ethtool" on your physical NIC (molst likely peth0) say?
- does your switch show any errors on that port?

You can try looking at http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenFaq , but
I suspect it's something not Xen-related, like :
- duplex/speed mismatch between NIC and switch
- bad cable

The questions above should help pinpoint the problem.
