I'm saying if I had my Mobile Intel 2 Duo 2.1 Ghz vs and my AMD Phenom II 3x 720 OC to 3.8 GHz that I nor would anyone else have improvement in downloading speed.
Yes you would..mostly if you offload CRC checksum to the CPU. And latency effects everything, you don't realize that latency make a HUGE difference for everything, even a 500mbp/sec connection could loose to a 10mbps connection with better latency..let me explain

You have a webpage with 20 images. Assuming you are single threading, if you have a latency of 100ms it would take 2 seconds + the size of the image for you to download the page.

Now in a real scenario you would be multi-threading but the result is the same. I can do the full math here but its kinda late so I'm hoping the above example is enough.
