Probably one or both of your machines can't keep up.  (I assume you're
using sufficiently large files that startup and shutdown overhead are
negligible -- they are substantial.)  Uucp-g can run a line at circa 90%
of line speed quite consistently if the machines are fast enough and
the serial interfaces are not so stupid as to be a bottleneck.  (This
is, historically, sometimes a problem on VAXen.)
