Why use Performance(Layer 4) F5 VIP?

I have LTM VIP configured with Standard profile. When users trying to download/upload files through VIP to the Poll member, the latency is much higher (18s) than when they perform same transaction with pool member directly.

 

I have been doing some research on this VIP capability to support 1Gig file download/upload application. Came across VIP type Performance (Layer 4). But there is no specific definition about why I should use Performance (Layer 4) VIP configuration. Can someone try help me understand why I should use Performance(Layer 4) VIP configuration?

 

Current Config:

 

VIP Type - Standard Client Protocol Profile - TCP-WAN-Optimized Server Protocol Profile - TCP-LAN-Optimized iRule - SNAT Pool - P1, P2 Load-Balancing Method -Least Connection Node
