Comment(by AlbertCahalan):

 Note that the beacons.png graph is showing bytes, not transmit time.

 If the mesh is at 1 megabit/second while regular laptops are at 11 or 54,
 then you really need to multiply the mesh traffic by 11 or 54 to account
 for that.

 Low-speed traffic can be even worse. Under some conditions (forgot the
 details, sorry) it can make other stuff go at the slow rate as well.
