Did you have a backup of your old unit which you can fully restore to this one? I guess you're trying to rule out a software or ROM issue instead of a hardware problem.

Obviously the things which slow you down are low free memory and what's running in the background.

Was the new ROM the same so that you're comparing apples and oranges. I don't know about the packet loss but again, the unit seems to be getting loaded down while processing.
