<prabhu>	Is this always true, i.e. did u measure speeds at the same
<prabhu>time?  If so how?  Try downloading something off ftp and check.  What
<prabhu>is your server an NT or linux box?  Maybe you should experiment a
<prabhu>little more.

Or, are the DNS settings in Linux correct?
Sometimes, if u have a primary DNS unreachable (and secondary reachable),
there will be a timeout and a resultant delay.

To check this, compare using just IP adresses and not names.
As Prabhu said, ftp is a better test.
What browsers say need not be the correct figures, although the diff will
not be so high.
