I have a MBP with AP active but also connected to my router by an ethernet cable. In Network Prefs, Ethernet is the top choice with AP second. Transferring a 8 GB group of files, the ETA was 16 minutes and when I checked iStat, it was moving across AP. I disabled AP and the transfer ETA almost immediately dropped to 5 minutes. Re-enabling AP didn't change anything and the transfer completed quickly.
The only thing I can think of is that I took the MBP into the living room a few hours before, and sent an email over AP, then returned the machine to my desk and reconnected the Ethernet cable. I would expect it to revert to back Ethernet, since that's the top choice, but apparently it doesn't. Normal behavior?
