are network volumes slower than "normal" volumes?
Hey everyone! I've been experimenting with network volumes because of their perk of not needing to reinstall everything whenever my pod 'looses' its GPU. However, I've noticed that the upload/download speeds are pretty slow every time I use them. Has anyone else experienced this? Do these volumes need a few hours or days to reach optimal performance, similar to AWS? I'd really appreciate any insights or experiences you might have!

Network volumes disk speed is significantly slower but shouldn't impact upload and download speeds.
The documentation says about network volumes: " Everything is stored on high-speed NVME SSDs to ensure best performance." Why is NVME slow, suddenly?

Its accessed over network and not directly attached to the machine.
