Funny, it's fast as hell on my A4000 + Toaster... When will WIntel catch up with 10+ year old technology? There's an example of what happens when there is no competition.
I'll miss AMD, but where are they going? If they're giving up the desktop MHz race, are they also giving up on MP? Or maybe they'll focus on that... Mmmm, an 8-way AMD SMP board. But that's an even tougher market, with more competition.
That leaves the low end (which they rightly crawled out of years ago) and "next generation" chips, which cost even more money to R&D with a much less certain payoff. I'm confused.
We have many possibilities: ground one end; ground every end; ground every end and install a isolation transformer at the punch-down block; or don't ground any end. What should we do?"
Ground one end: YES
Ground every end: no, unless you want noise
Ground every end and install isolation transformer (on the ethernet TX/RX ckt I assume): No, unless you want an expensive solution to produce noise.
Don't ground any end: this is the safest if you don't know what you're doing.
IANAEE, but common sense tells me that you should be running your computer equipment on isolated ground circuits. If you're also using shielded ethernet, either ground the shield at the nics or at the hub, and be consistent. If you're using isolation transformers ON the ethernet TX/RX circuit itself, grounding should definitely be at the hub, bonded to the isolation transformer's neutral or ground.

And of course, video editing is much worse...

Yeah, here's a good start (for BSD, anyway). Gotta love the booth bunnies.
