GE LAN, client and server connected in same switch. 1.6.2 server, 1.4 serie=
s client.=20

Copy inside AFS, same volume, same file server.=20

$ du -sh ../infected/;  time cp -r ../infected  .=20
66M     ../infected/

real    0m17.009s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m8.457s
$=20

3.8 MB/sec.=20

Copy out of AFS, to an iSCSI volume also on local LAN.=20

$ du -sh ../infected/;  time cp -r ../infected /scratch/mansaxel/
66M     ../infected/

real    0m0.546s
user    0m0.004s
sys     0m0.416s

Hot cache. 120+MB/sec. =20

Into AFS from local file system:=20

jaja.besserwisser.org$  time cp -r  /scratch/mansaxel/infected .

real    0m9.113s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m9.077s

7.24 MB / sec. Also hot cache, so probably close to max for this test case.=
=20

All of this is purely anecdotal and not very controlled environment,
but pointers to ballpark figures it is.
