FEZ Cobra Ethernet Speeds

I am just doing a standard ping to the FEZ Cobra Ethernet and I notice that the speed is reduced signicantly. I also tested a Luminary Eval board I am using for similar project to see which has better performance.

They are both hooked to the same router and the same computer is pinging them. I am wondering is there a setting I am missing or something to increase the Ethernet speed on the FEZ Cobra?

where is the speed test? I am not sure I understand, sorry

Looks like the first icmp message to the cobra took 3ms instead of <1ms.

The longer time on the first icmp message could be explained by arp. The mac address for the other board was already cached.

But… where is the speed test?

Yes that 3ms is a bad way to determine Ethernet speed. I can tell you this, you can download a file from HTTP browser at about 150KBytes/sec on Cobra

Yeah the speed is pretty good on the Cobra, I send system updates and application installs to it via internet all the time and I’ve got zero complaints.
