I assume that with Arch Linux, you get a very basic setup, and its up to the installee to configure it to suite his or her tastes - correct?
Alot of the speed issues that come with Red Hat/Fedora and OpenSuSE are due to the fact that it tries to be everything to everyone, the net result, for example, you have hardware detection things that load at start up which slow things down etc.
I might give it ago, however, I think I might wait till the new driver for ipw3945 is released, which no longer relies on the userland demon, that can be a real bitch to setup, making sure that it is loaded before the wpa_supplicant, but ensuring there is a sufficient 'gap' in the load proceedure or otherwise, wpa won't work - and ontop of all that, making sure thare all that occurs before the ethernet connection is initialised.
