I've noticed that mkvmerge is very slow when muxing to a network drive. On my gigabit LAN, it can only pull about 5 MB/s even when it is only writing to the network (reading sources from local system drive.) I can dump DVDs to network drives at 20-30 MB/s, on the other hand.

Is this due to small-sized write accesses causing tons of overhead perhaps? It's a curious thing.
