If you have the ability to, it's almost always better to specify
connection speeds than to use autonegotiate. More so if you have a good
managed switch, and can do so on both ends. Should relate to more than
FB, but with allot of I/O auto-neg could become an issue, as stated.

I would assume in the case above setting it to a fixed full duplex would
have been better than half duplex. I would bet the difference came from
specifiying instead of negotiating speeds. Regardless of the speed or
duplex.
