“I feel the need, the need for more speed” does make sense to me.

By changing the the TFTP package size between the client and the PXE server you could achieve that.

So, if you really like speed and performance you might want to read a post that could help you.

How to speed up PXE boot in WDS and SCCM

During a PXE boot, when the boot image file is being loaded in the client, it should not take any longer than a few minutes time depending on the size of the boot.wim and your network. If it seems that your PXE boot times are extremely slow, you may be able to speed up the process by increasing the TFTP block size. This article will show you how to speed up PXE boot in WDS and SCCM.

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is the network protocol used for downloading all files during network boots. TFTP is an inherently slow protocol because it requires one ACK (acknowledgment) packet for each block of data that is sent. The server will not send the next block in the sequence until the ACK packet for the previous block is received. As a result, on a slow network, the round-trip time can be very long.

Follow the steps below to increase the TFTP block size in both a WDS and SCCM 2007 environment.
