What if you try a different bs? $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1000 count=1000000 > /dev/null 1000000+0 records in 1000000+0 records out 1000000000 bytes transferred in 1.102 secs (907004798 bytes/sec) vs $ dd if=/dev/zero bs=10000 count=100000 > /dev/null 100000+0 records in 100000+0 records out 1000000000 bytes transferred in 0.163 secs (6112058480 bytes/sec) That looks like an order of magnitude to me... not sure what you'll get with client/server over the network, but can't hurt to try.
