I was rather referring to real use ;)

Speed tests under optimized conditions do have their purpose (e.g. is my 
network interface working properly?[1]), but they might be misleading 
when the bottleneck for real world transfers is elsewhere (like the 
limited storage options on the PINE A64+).

[1] Especially for the PINE A64+, which did have some troubles with the 
network interface due to a hardware bug. Fortunately the issue was 
identified and corrected in later batches.

Kind regards,
Andrei
