Sorry, a mistake of mine! When I wrote "NetBSD 1.6.1: 1.700
kilobytes/sec, NetBSD 2.0: 2.500 kilobytes/sec (using Samba)" I forgot
that "." and "," are interchanged in Germany. So to get the correct
values, just delete the "." and read: "NetBSD 1.6.1: 1700
kilobytes/sec (resp. 1.7 Megabytes/sec), NetBSD 2.0: 2500
kilobytes/sec (resp. 2.5 Megabytes/sec) (using Samba)".

Indeed!

I am doing it the same way as you, so our measurements should be
comparable.
