I think if it takes 3 hours you have something else going on, but the original MS USB to Ethernet adapters are only 100mb. I boot a Dell 7440 with onboard nic and a Surface 2 with the 1st gen USB, and the 7440 finishes in half the time.

WDS would send larger chunks of the boot.wim at once. 3 hours is definitely longer than it should be J. 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.
