I need more performance on NFS and RDP (assuming, RDP can make
use of jumbo frames -- I'm not sure, and the the current 
firmware of the switch doesn't show the jumbo diagnostics).

Yes, that's the reason. Of course it's a GBit Ethernet network.

should it even be supported.

The ISP is a vanilla ADSL (PPPoE), so I can't up the MTU there.
