Well, well, well! On checking, I noticed that my CPU is ~70% idle.
Measuring bandwidth with iperf results in 3.5 Mbit/s. I misread that
last time as 3.5 Mb/s. However, 3.5 Mbit/s should give me only about 450
Kb/s, I certainly get 600 Kb/s over HTTP. My hard disk is running with
Spd=480. That is full speed usb2, right? So, it probably is my network
connection, which is over wifi. I'll try it on cable, some time soon.
Thanks!
