Don't forget to take into account your disc drive speeds. They may be the slowest part in the equation. Also, if you do something like use Nautilus to copy files, having the destination window showing the directory filling up slows things down a hell of a lot. I find changing it to show something else once the transfer has started makes a HUGE difference (on FC4, at least). Look at the output of the top command during a file transfer, and you'll see some processes eating lots of CPU, particularly the fam one. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
