Confusing Route issue.

XP Client.
DHCP address assigned address.
Default Gateway set to our corporate router.
Additional routes added for access to a customer's servers pointing at the router that connects to our customer.
Router for customer is on our internal LAN. (packets to them should not hit our corp. router)
We are set up this way because our corp. router would slow down customer data. (corp router is 100mb., customer router is 1Gb.
customer link is 1Gb fiber)
Set up as listed at the top, our traffic to our customer was slower than it should have been.
For testing, I put the customer router as the default gateway.
Data transfer times were cut in half.
My assumption that there were some IP references that were being called that we did not have routes entered for.
I ran NETMON in both configs and saw no differences.
There were only three IP addresses referenced (not including the broadcasts that were recorded).
Two at the customer and one for a fileserver on the same LAN. (needed by the app.)
Both customer IPs went directly to the customer router in both setups.
My assumption is that the routing is working properly in both configs, but that XP somehow slows the data when using routes other
than the default gateway.

===========================================================================
Persistent Routes:
None
172.16.0.254 = corp. router
172.16.0.253 = cust. router
Please advise if anyone knows why a static route would be any slower.
