Python SDK UCS download takes long time

Hello guys,   Did anybody implement file backups using Python SDK? UCS creation works fine for me, however file transfer takes forever. I'm using example at https://f5-sdk.readthedocs.io/en/late...

I cannot tell why one is faster than the other as I did not see much difference, at least on the iControl REST calls. Both access the same endpoint (/mgmt/shared/file-transfer/ucs-downloads) and do 512 kb chunking. Possibly the F5 SDK performs additional verification or throttling but I am not sure (I haven't read the code). I hope you can get information from the Github.
