Kermit for high speed downloads from Unix?  Really?

If you have a Unix/Xenix Kermit that does better than half the *throughput*
(not raw speed!) of sz's ZMODEM downloading an .ARC file to a DOS
computer at 19200 bps, please post it.  (Example: 386 Xenix at 19200 bps
to an AT clone: Kermit 473 cps, ZMODEM 1809 cps on a 50k .ARC file.)
