Hi list (once again),

I noticed that when downloading a kernel/initrd/whatever using http, 
iPXE is roughly 8 times slower compared to gpxelinux doing the same http 
download.

With iPXE, I get a constant download speed of 10 MBit/s on the LAN (100 
MBit/s). I tried the undionly.kpxe as well as the floppy image, which 
don't seem to make a difference in speed in this case.

Does anybody have a hint or can I help debugging this?

Thanks,
Sven
