I would expect gbit ethernet with possibly some fifo/buffering setting adjusted gets you better performance that RS232 (with or without slip). Just assemble some raw frames on the source side and go.

I think gig ethernet has a higher delay for smaller packets (ntp's udp 
datagram is tiny) than 100mbit ethernet.
