100 FPS is pretty low, but should suffice.  I'm fairly new to using Linux
full time, so I'm not real sure where your problem is.  But, I'd start
by eliminating network setup issues, e.g., router, broadband modem, bad
Wi-Fi settings, etc.

Have you tuned any network parameters on your Linux system?

If not, you may need to adjust or add settings to your
etc/sysctl.conf file.  The sysctl.conf file on my Linux
system was missing many settings.

Search using Google or Yahoo for:
   linux tcp_mem rmem_max wmem_default

That should pull up articles for adjusting your networking.

I had to had a large number of settings, like 25, that were
missing, and use *HUGE* values for: rmem_default, rmem_max,
wmem_default, wmem_max, tcp_mem, tcp_rmem, tcp_wmem,, etc.
These values are much, much larger than the settings on the
webpages you'll find.  Those values are like for dialup.
I forget if they're a multiple of 1024 or 4096 ...
