Sonicwall speed quality curiosity

I have recently replaced a old Sonicwall TZ180 with a newer Sonicwall TZ105, and I have noticed that my speed test from the old firewall was 20mbps to 30mbps and now with the TZ105 is 50mbps to 60mbps, I'm just very curious based on what reason, will anyone here happen to know? I know that both units have a 10/100 wan port, I just don't know what would cause such improvement.

PS: I've reset the TZ180 to factory default and tried again, same results.
Cheers

Comcast business 60mbps.
The older model, has a lower max throughput, 90 Vs 200 of the 105.
speedtest.net has a mini version that can be downloaded and setup on an internal web server you could use that to test the max throughout on the tz180 .

more speculation than anything else, the new one has claims that deal with a better mechanism to deal with packet assembly that could explain the improvement.
