There shouldn't be any significant difference in the download of a single 5MB file between aufs and ufs on a system with no other workload. And it's always a round 20KB/s, if I start a second, simultaneous download it also runs at exactly 20KB/s. This either a bug or a feature, I can't see 20KB/s being a disk access bottleneck.
