Re: [gentoo-user] interconnecting speeds

[Daniel Huckstep <voodoo.rage@gmail.com>]

Are you sure it's actually slow or are you just looking at the number 
thinking it's slow...
If you are getting "fast speeds in the 100's of MBs" from the internet 
then I want your internet connection. it's probably more like 100's of KB...
Regardless, only 1MB across LAN is still slow.
