Maybe you're right; although it seems like my Time Machine backups are taking a lot longer than they used to before we moved into the RV. I was using the same Airport Extreme and a different but still non gigabit switch…and was backing up to an iMac then vs a Mini now but overall a pretty similar setup.
I just did an initial backup of my /Users folder following a system rebuild; about 22 GB and it took 15 hours or so to finish…which seems longer than it used to be.
