The tlp should perform better than the rtk; they are both 100mbit/sec interfaces but the tlp is significantly less burdensome on the host cpu, which is almost certainly the bottleneck here.
The tlp in this machine is a 21041 which does only 10MBit/s
This test is getting and putting files from the disk drive. I am not surprised that a very old PowerBook cannot send data it has to read from its internal hard disk faster than 27Mbit/sec. A better test would be to use ttcp.
Or something bigger - 10MB hardly gives consistent results. have fun Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iQEVAwUBR6kCWspnzkX8Yg2nAQIw9wf+J4K19zdJ7f7gfbQFXzlvKBFGJngQan1H Z8VS8H6mALiPnavooAHs0h+um15HAnTGRYvvRZK17dOK9OEOgJo2q7TY35NBHhh5 G9z6ucF17OJGoInoCPmGbwJ14wThRLmJlveZ3q9FwsVtHjx/XXPSFvaPzzre3GE2 ZrIFhyzBmMuVn1b5EUrSg+EDmX1MnjN8aDJ3fSAmqogzJx0pcqeHtMCX0EsgY+X5 9cAIJ9u4689F92J0uTwvrsUWFAd+5uDZhtKQLbrJawwMpUSqbRT96cZ3mNnzGjRb 7B7JrGvT28nMQ8YkdoQvlF29Z/0yAWCEzoDwHmdZ5bNVf3P+pJIQuw== =h69e -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
