Perceived throughput

Can anyone suggest why I perceive Arch Linux as having much better networking (Internet) throughput than Fedora 18? It is my perception that when using pacman to update my Arch system the throughput is at least twice that of Fedora 18 / yum on the same computer, maybe even exponentially faster. Could the difference be something like IPV6 settings (on/off) or some other network setting? Maybe something in the way networking is configured under Arch vs. networking under Fedora?

Here's a sample of the Arch update I just ran.
