Yes this would affect all devices. WDS would send larger chunks of the boot.wim 
at once. 3 hours is definitely longer than it should be ☺.

I would say without changing the TFTP size it took my SP1 and SP3 7 – 10 
minutes with the TFTP size set like below maybe 2 – 3 minutes.

Wont that impact all devices that uefi/pxe boot on that dp ? This is the only 
device that is slow, 3 hours to download boot.wim over uefi

Subject: [mssms] UEFI network boot extremely slow on Surface Pro 3 with

hi,
i'm testing a surface 3 with uefi network boot (cm12 r2 CU2) and the download 
of the boot wim is extremely slow, like painfully slow,

the usb nic is a microsoft nic which i got with my original surface and i'm 
using that because it seems the usb3 lenovo nics wont work with the Surface3 
for UEFI network boot.

so, is this supported or a known issue ? also is it a requirement to use 
Microsoft branded usb nics with the surface brand for UEFI network boot ? 
anyone know ?

cheers
niall.
