Here's a new test. This one is interesting. Everything performed almost identical to the first test up to the 3 minute mark. At 3 minutes, there was a sudden shift from 30.2MB to 25.1MB. However, it stayed at 25.1MB for the rest of the test. Conditions were the same, 5min+ and counts over 30,000,000.
