I get the same problem, although it fluctuates wildly.  During 
evenings it seems to crawl along at 350cps, but then just now, it got 
upto 1600cps, for most of the download.  I think its just a case of 
when its busy.  I guess the scalable newserver, means that during 
busy times, we sacrifice speed for actaully connecting and getting the 
mail.
