wget analysis file sizes

When downloading different file sizes from the same host I observe the tendency of small files being downloaded slower than big files.

Say 100 kb file would have speed around 300 kb/sec

And 1 mb file for the same host has a speed around 1.2 mb/sec.

What are the factors affecting the speed for the same host?

Thanks,

TCP slow-start makes a huge difference for short-lived requests. If you are using modern Linux, you can tune initcwnd and see if that makes a difference.
