Let's not lose perspective here - this is a PAT downloading some data, not a disk drive. As long as the data doesn't get corrupted, then does it matter if it's a bit slow?
I believe the point plugwash was raising was more of a compatibility issue. Poorly written software (ie. just about all proprietary software) may not be able to cope with the added latency.
