That reason could be compatibility. If you see slower response then perhaps something is wrong. Perhaps you should call their support and verify that you do not have a mismatched duplex setting? Mismatched duplex can come from misbehaving autonegotiation or that one end is set to full-duplex while the other end is set to half-duplex, or, one end is set to full-duplex and the other end is set to auto-negotiate (which results in falling back to half-duplex). -- Sten Daniel Soersdal
