But in real world usage (pulling a video file from store) it is about three times faster than an NSLU2. Consider the following tests using scp to grab a 1.1 GB video file (so some overhead in the encryption as opposed to a straight wire copy) NSLU2 mick@home:/tmp$ time scp slug:/home/mick/videos/video-leo.mp4 . video-leo.mp4 100% 1093MB 1.3MB/s 14:16 real 14m18.425s user 0m52.451s sys 0m15.109s DNS320 mick@home:/tmp$ time scp nas:/home/mick/videos/video-leo.mp4 . video-leo.mp4 100% 1093MB 3.6MB/s 05:00 real 5m0.248s user 0m52.327s sys 0m13.797s The slugs have really slow network ports. I find the DNS plenty fast enough to stream video to my Archos android tablet.
