Hi all I forgot to mention that this slow response is evident even when only restoring a single 2GB file. SO this is not for a large number of files. ALso i would not expect the speed to be almost 50 times slower.

Marc - The GUI has historically been slower than the CLI, as documented in the B/A Clients manual: "If you need to restore a large number of files, you can get faster performance by using the restore command instead of the GUI."
