...and safety standards. Certain frequencies were disallowed so limiting
a hyperthetical throughput of 64kbps to 56kbps instead.

The issue with 800Mbps is likely to be as stated - but remember that
internal FIFO buffers on the card will bump up the short term throughput
over the external bus - so lots of very small requests effectively go
through at full speed.

Cheers,

Jon.
