I find that Steam decompression pegs one core of my CPU and downloads get stuck at 550-600 mbps. It would take a lot less time if it didn't compress anything.

Yup, about the same for me (maybe slightly faster).

Sometimes games have assets that compress really well, and then I end up downloading at 400mbps and maxing out my SSD writing.

Haha, yeah I bet most people who play games these days have a faster CPU than I do. My machine is eight years old.
