Why is the iSeries so slow

My current calculations result in a 4gig file taking 15 hours to FTP from
the iSeries to the PC client's hard drive. Is this for real? Are there any
tweaks to make this process more reasonable?

This the most simplest file transfer I can think of. It's an ASCII file
created with the CPYTOSTMF file and is housed in the /home folder of the
IFS. Once switched to namefmt 1, the GET command simply retrieves the file.
No translation, authenticated user and plenty of memory, CPU and disk
space. So what am I missing or is the iSeries really not capable of
handling one of the most basic tasks any simple PC based FTP server can
achieve?
