Take some pliers and really smush the ethernet cable good and flat. Then, take a power cord and wrap it around the ethernet cable a couple times. Do so in a spot that's hard to find. Routing near a flourescent light is helpful, as well. That should bring the speed down to slightly below arcnet. Then, complain incessantly about it's horrible speed and refuse to work on the box because "it'll make the UNIX machines sulk", or: "Uhm, I'm not really that good with Windows.
