The load starts out at a rate of about 2 M/s. In the past I remember that dropping to something like 900 k/s and staying there. Now the load starts in the same place, but after 30 seconds it alternates between stalling out right, and a rate under 100 k/s. Dips as low as under 10 k/s and sometimes as high at 700 k/s. (My undergraduate degree was in watching water boil.)
