You are running into a limitation of the SMB protocol on workstation versions of Windows. That's about all you can expect going workstation to workstation. It's faster if you have a real server O/S on one end.

FWIW, I see this issue, but if I go to the destination workstation and copy from the remote one, I get much faster transfers, give that a try.
