Can you try to rsync / netcat some large files / random data through
nonstandard ports in both directions, and see whether that reproduces
the behaviour? I also think using PostgreSQL on port 80 might be an
interesting test.

It might be a driver or "security software" issue...

When http and network drive transfers work fast, but transfers on
nonstandard ports (postgreSQL uses 5432) work slow, I'd suspect some
personal firewall or antivirus network filtering software.
