exchange 2013 migration slow

Hi,

I've set up a coexistence architecture of exchange 2010 and 2013.

I started migrating users over and am finding it painfully slow.  A 1 GB mailbox took about an hour.  

Is that normal?

I don't see any high usage of memory, disk or cpu.

We have 1GB network/switches.

The moving of mailboxes is not the fastest procedure, as items are transfered one by one.
1 GB in one hour is not the most, but may depend from your NIC speeds in all connected systems (Network cards, switches). If your NICs and switches have 1GBit, the maximum transfered amount of data is around 75MB / s, for 100 MBit around 7,5 MB. But the tranfer speed depends on the size of the packets, as smaller the packets as slower the transfer rates.

For 1 GB networks, the speed should be somewhere aroung 5-10 min / 1 GB, at least from my experience for mailbox moves.

You may tr this:

to see if you have some internal issues with your network. You never reach the maximum, but with the highest packet size, you should be able to reach at least around 50%

ugh that's really annoying.  i was hoping i could just move the mailboxes and the archives later, but that doesn't seem to work when I tried.

very frustruating.  Unless I get a magic bullet answer soon, i'll split the points for you two.
