Ok -- Some more details about my experience that it appears to be slow. As a test I've transfered a couple of 100 Mbyte files via NFS to my desktop. I don't know much about the overhead it has but if wlan0 tells me I have a 11MBit connection a throughput of at least 500kbyte/s should be possible and I'm far away from this. It also appeared that the transfer freezes for a couple of seconds ( I had a look at the file sizes on the recipient side in second intervals). Nothing suspicious in dmesg or syslog though. This of course is a very crude analysis, but if someone can point me to better tools to check for data throughput and connection stability I'll be happy to check in more detail.
