I have been experiencing slow ftp performance with ASCII files (text
mode). This has occured with wu-ftpd beta 18 and the release 2.4.2. HQX
files seem to go out at about 40K/sec over my 10BT LAN (Q700 built-in
ethernet switched hub). MacBinary files on the other hand go at 240K/sec.
This with the same file. I tested via Anarchie on a Mac and linux ftp
client (linuxPPC). 

Is the linefeed conversion done on server side? Binary mode transfers are
so much faster...

Yet one more reason to use MacBinary files (besides the file size
savings).
