not sure what the bottle neck is for you but about 5Mb/s. on an ethernet (even a 100Mbps setup) is about right considering the CPU in the NIT. I am actually not sure what the NIC in the N800 is theoretically rated at...my guess is it's just a 10Mbps card at BEST. Could be wrong there though just never bothered to look because no way the device could ever run at that speed, might get close if and when the ramp up the CPU to it's max of 1000Mhz vs. the 400Mhz it's running at under OS2008.

The other numbers are close to where they should be as they work out to between approximately 3Mbps - 5Mbps. Much can depend on memory fragmentation, what other apps are running at same time, fragmentation on the data source-side of the issue. I have even see where the data copied can affect the speed. It should not matter but some files seem to be, well, reluctant to move around. I suspect that was more a fragmentation issue than anything else.

But those numbers seem fine. My test was just testing the actual internet connection speed not an internal network copy. I find it measures how well the NIT handles the overhead of the internet connection while managing the overhead from Flash while xfering the data for the speed test.

Considering my C2D HP nx9420 laptop gets similar, slightly higher, numbers using the same mobile broadband connection I used in the test above...I find the results very encouraging.
