Downloads slowly, you mean, surely. Execution speed will not change
whether downloaded from ethernet or serial.

Are you by any chance using the ethernet controller in the
application? In that case the connection will die.

Instead, try to download the application from the RedBoot console
using the load command. Then quite the terminal program, connect with
GDB and set the $pc to the application entry address. Then type 'cont'.

Don't touch that option when using ethernet - it's required.
