I hear you there. If performance was ever of paramount importance, I'd jump the PDA plan and use the ISP gateway. This would be especially I was to be using the Treo as a modem (aka DUN or teather) for a laptop frequently.
However, I myself simply want to get my email and the occasional web page, arguably not much more than I'd be doing on any standard cell phone. I think the money saved (about $30/month for me) is worth the small compromise in speed.
I still get about 110-180kbps download speeds. However, the WAP gateway is more likely to become congested than the ISP gateway.
