GPS question

Anybody ever notice their GPS max speed isn't as high as it should be?  I have a cheap Magellan - and a few times yesterday I noticed that my instantaneous speed was higher than the top speed the GPS showed.  I remember it once saying 162 indicated speed yet my max speed never got over 157.  Is this just a Magellan error or do you have to stay at that speed for more than a few seconds for it to register?
 
It depends on the GPS. Some systems only update every 3-5 seconds so you will have a delay...

The high dollar ones keep right up but my $99 eTrex does the same thing as yours....
