we've got plans to speed up ethernet by using a separate TCP connection; the protocol that is run over serial, USB and ethernet is a stop & wait for ack type protocol, mainly for robustness (USB is supposedly error free, but we have seen problems).
Over a TCP stream this is unnecessary and so we should be able to push up much nearer 1MB/sec. This won't be in 1.1, but will appear later I suspect.
