- wired NIC connected to WLAN router/repeater
- wired 10Mbps NIC
- remote system on WLAN
- remote system reads from USBv1.1 or CDROM
- traffic shaping
- SMB/CIFS is slow even on fast connections (see the bug Albert linked)

OTOH, NFS to another subnet (the next in-house router, GBit) can be pretty fast.
For servers, read & write can largely differ and whatnot.

What one actually can have is "isNotSlow()", ie. is a local tempfs or HDD/SSD
