Do updates/games from the eShop download faster in sleep mode?

I own a Nintendo 2DS and I frequently download updates from the eShop. There is an option to download now or download later. If you choose the latter option, the 2DS downloads in sleep mode. I usually just use download now, but when I do use the download later option, there does not seem to be a difference in download time. Is there an actual difference in download time between these two options?
Best Answer
No. If you download in sleep mode, it is simply downloading when it is in sleep mode, vs. not downloading at all.
