Okay, I get it, you don't care about potential problems, no problem.

I hope you have a good switch that can do wire speed and not 30-40 MiB 
only (D-Link any one?) and some can only do the whole 1gb when jumbo 
frames is enabled.

You just have to try it out yourself and run some speed tests because we 
can theorize until the cows come home but only a real practical test 
will give you the answer. Like you said, we don't know your network 
infrastucture, we don't know your OI server disk setup and we don't know 
what hardware you have.
