From the Sony Tablet Help Guide:

"If both the Bluetooth function and the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi function of your tablet device are enabled, interference may occur and cause
slower data transfer speeds or other problems."

Try turning off the tablet's Wi-Fi to see if that will increase the Bluetooth file transfer speed.

It's probably not usually that slow, but Bluetooth file transfers are an inherently slow process. BT is made for ease of use, decent range and easy interoperability with other devices such as headsets, so it's not really made for fast OTA binary transfers.

As Cat mentioned, try turning off the WiFi to reduce interference and make sure there are no microwaves operating in the area. They mess with practically anything wireless.

Happens all the time between my fascinate and my sisters galaxy player.
