We just recently purchase Palo Alto's Prisma access solution and notice that bandwidth is for users with high speed internet (1gbps). At first I thought this could be a wifi interference problem or something else, so to isolate out all those variables, I decided to run these test on a linux server with GP 5.0.9 on GCP.
I seem to have found some very interesting statistics. I used a n1-standard-8 (8cpus, 30gb ram) instance and ran the test with and without the GP client. Here are the stats...
``` -------------WITH GP-----------------------
user@instance-3:~$ speedtest-cli --simple

Upload: 230.51 Mbit/s
user@instance-3:~$ speedtest-cli --simple

user@instance-3:~$ speedtest-cli --simple

--------------WITHOUT GP -------------------
user@instance-3:~$ speedtest-cli --simple
Ping: 32.858 ms

```
Looks like the download has a cap of 250Mbit/s as GP can't get past that in the download. But without GP, I get greater than 1,000Mbit/s.
Has anyone else run into similar speed issues?
