Could be. I haven't been particularly impressed by the accuracy and consistency of any of the benchmark utilities I've seen, so it's hard to put objective numbers on it though.

If you're looking to browse/modify files in the windows directory, I'd suggest avoiding activesync. I typically use MyMobiler's Mobile Explorer utility. It will bring up my Windows directory in about 1-2 seconds. Also, some of the old USB mass storage programs like WM5torage would let you mount the onboard memory for faster access.
