Yes, I have noted the same phenomenon and have wondered why. Now, I
wait for Ronni's "all clear" before doing the download and always use
the WiFI option. There is no apparent downside to doing it this way -
always.

Subject:iOS9 downloads

 Why are downloads via iTunes on iOS devices so unbelievably slow?  
I usually do them wirelessly but today by some quirk I decided to do
my iPad mini while plugged in to iTunes.  After what seemed an
interminable wait I interrogated the download viewer and was told
there were 12 hours still to go.  I unplugged and went to wifi and
all completed in the normal sort of time.  Why is this? Severin Crisp
