Nope, the switch will make a difference on the order of 2 miliseconds generally, or 2/1000ths of a second.
Bandwidth for anything from the net will be limited exclusively by the connection and its usage, not LAN traffic. On any older machine you will have 100mbit bandwidth, which is 100 times faster than your internet connection. If anything, this design I propose will make your PC-to-PC and PC-to-USB/network drive faster. This will take any external traffic out of the equation for the traffic on your switch.
Now I don't know what icefilms is, but if it's a film viewed from the web, then the netflix interruption has nothing to do with your LAN or the trendnet router, but rather the outgoing pipe. It means you're trying to pull too much water through a straw, when you would be much better off with a garden hose. On your side of that router (internal LAN) you have the equivalent of a firehose or larger.
