On older systems, Windows would send data at max speed, but sometimes when the bandwidth throttle down because maybe some other activity was taking up bandwidth, and it would never throttle back up (think Windows 95 and perhaps the first editions of Win 98).

Do you have a link to official documentation regarding this behavior? It would explain some things I've seen over the years, with drives not reaching expected speeds all the time.
