My first thought is that the ping responses are still
sub-millisecond...what's the problem?

My second thought is that if there truly is an issue, it's in the network
tuning on the Windows systems, not on your Linux systems. Since your Linux
systems' response times are on the order of 1/3 the time of the response
times for the Windows systems, so it doesn't appear that your Linux
systems are the issue.
