We've been using Lattisnet for about fifty machines, and it
seems to work pretty well.  When it was first installed, there
were some packet dropping problems, and they came out and
installed some sort of additional buffering.  Perhaps you
have an older version, or else the lower cost, less buffered
version.  Maybe when the machine count goes to a hundred,
we might have a different story to tell, (ie its time to
buffer more.)  However, single point to point transfers seem
to run as fast between machines on the Lattisnet as those
not on it.  This was tried only with sun 3/260's and SGI
irises, so far.
