Yeah, reading flash is MUCH faster than writing flash, and reading flash and writing somewhere else on the same flash (mmcblk0p1) is WAY slower, especially if the blocks are misaligned as is typical with FAT partitions on flash. That is why SSD manufacturers provide tools to realign the blocks in FAT partitions that were formatted with XP or earlier...
For that matter, my INTERNET speed is faster than writing a file to my K5 USB drive. Downloading a file from internet to kindle USB Drive would leave unused capacity on my residential internet link.
So, yeah, use netcat if you can.
