 The bit transfer rate on my wired ethernet is about one magnitude faster
 than the XO-1 wireless bit transfer rate.  Yet when in Terminal I do
 'sugar-control-panel -g available_updates', that command completes in less
 than 5 minutes if my connection is through a wireless AP, but takes 15 or
 more minutes to complete if my connection is through my wired ethernet.
 [This has been true for a long time, including currently on F10-based
 Joyride.]

 For one thing, I'm seeing that on my wired ethernet, when checking for
 more recent versions, the entire WikipediaActivity bundle [100 MB] plus
 the WikipediaActivityEN bundle [100 MB] get downloaded to my XO.  (I do
 not have those Activities installed on my XO.)  'Software update' ought to
 be able to check for "newer" without doing massive downloads.
