If what you are doing is mission critical, you may want to call an expert. There are MANY things that can slow down network performance. There is no difference in Speed with Cat 5 and Cat 5e (Cat 5e just conforms to the latest standards set forth by IEEE, UL, TIA/EIA). When you look at how a network performs, you MUST look at the big picture when troubleshooting (is the node on a connection with clean power? is it near an elevator, toaster, hairdryer, etc, is the connection good at the wall socket?). good luck.
