Seems that in my situation (my access point is a slow machine), the behavior of the rate control mechanism depends on the *type* of work load - I was restoring a firefox session with a lot of windows, and it is stuck at 1Mb all the time. But once all the windows are stored, doing a ping I can indeed have the rate going up (and eventually coming down) to 24-36Mb.
