I would recommend running your test again, without other stuff running 
on your computer at the same time. Blowfish is a much faster algorithm 
than AES, particularly for long streams. I would also consider it pretty 
much equivalent in terms of security; the only reason it wasn't 
considered to *be* AES (Twofish was one of the top contenders, though) 
is because of the (IMHO superfluous) blocksize requirement NIST put on 
the contest.
