Servers shmervers.
Maybe you can further substantiate this with a similar screenshot where XP SP3 is being downloaded? The installed XP should be a freshly-installed SP2 version.
Or maybe stock Vista, then download SP1.
Then time this: Start from the time you update synaptic until all the updates are installed.
With Vista: Start the timer when you start updating until SP1 has been installed.
With XP: Start the timer when you start updating until SP3 has been installed.
This should even up the playing field.![]()
