Is Ad-Hoc network equivalent to an Access Point in performance? I don't know enough to be able to answer that question myself.

It depends on your driver (some might have slower defaults for 802.11g or even b compatibility). Ad-hoc usually gets slow when you have a lot of devices, but since you just have 2 talking to each other it should be fast.

"Access Point mode is also faster, allowing speeds up to 54 Mbps in 802.11g, whereas Ad Hoc is generally limited to the 11 Mbps of the older 802.11b standard." source

Keyword being "generally". Different drivers have different settings. Some chipsets work just fine in ad-hoc mode, e.g. superuser.com/a/308273/34856

Thank you, I will play around with it over the weekend and see what are the differences in speed.
