When downloading a file at high speeds, it seems the system becomes a little less responsive. Assuming the IO is hogging resources. Anyone else experiencing this?
Got a tip for us?

When syncing DropBox it was very fast for maybe 20 minutes and it then slowed way down. Nothing I could do would speed it up except stop syncing and wait a while, at which point it would download quickly again only to drop in speed 15 minutes later.
I am convinced the MB was throttling itself. It took over night to sync all of my neighbors files where it should have been done in a couple of hours at the most.
