Hmm...

As far as I can see it, u have the following tasks:
1. talking to the disks
2. label-related stuff
3. graid3 related stuff (splitting-up requests, XOR-ing all data)
4. gbde related stuff (encoding)
5. apllication stuff
6. network stuff

You can see, how those tasks load ur CPU(-s(?)), when u use this command:
  top -S
during this download process...

The output of
  systat -vmstat
during the download process might be quite interesting, too...

You may want to do the download to another disk or to /dev/null somehow (in
order to exclude the influence of graid3)...
