Which bus limits to 60mbps? The USB limitation shouldn't be anywhere near that low.

I don't know, but you get the extra limitation of USB2 being half duplex. USB2 is something like 480mbps. Add half duplex limitations and just general overhead compared to theoretical max. I can see how some network protocols become limited to 60mbps.

The USB bus on those is shared with all devices

True. It does depend what else you are doing with the pi. Something like a USB hard drive could account for that poor performance, especially if you were upload from/downloading to it.
