Speed of Mac and Windows Imaging

I'm wondering why it is that I can image a Windows machine in about 1/10th the time it takes to image my Mac (transfer rate is like 200MBps using either Acronis TrueImage or Ghost on my windows machine - I get more like 12 to 19Mbps with SuperDuper! to my external FW400 drive.)

Are my SD! speeds of 12 - 19mbps in the range that others are seeing to an external FW400 drive? Just curious why imaging is so much faster on a windows box, in general Mac's seem faster than Windows machines when it comes to disk performance.

TrueImage and Ghost are copying at a very low-level and have a certain amount of OS support... we copy file-by-file. But, Smart Update should be running faster than 12-19MB/s...

effective on smart update may be higher, but I'm referring to a full erase and image when I get 12 - 19

That's about what I'd expect, Randy.
