All of that said, I went to download the 3.x version to change the speed, and I saw on the download area that some people "found that 4.03 works better." I installed that, and voilą. No more delay at all. Hopefully 4.1 will fix whatever was changed after 4.03. For now, everything is peachy.

I appreciate your help, and I hope that MTU sees this and figures out what they changed and why it shouldn't have been changed.
Here is the reference I use on every new machine I set up.

This is a link to the page you need. Take some time to read the rest of the information on this guy's site. I have never found a better reference for tweaking for performance than this site. I have used this site for the last 10 years and he has never steered me wrong.
