Comment 11 for bug 250517

More data points - problem still exists in Jaunty AFAICS
This method should be easier to reproduce for most people rather than relying on iptraf etc.

I created a 120meg file called 'test' via /dev/urandom and dd, then tried comparing sftp client and regular cp over gvfs

    ~/.gvfs/sftp on HardyBox.local/home/me
 ==> time cp /tmp/test .

 real 3m15.006s
 user 0m0.116s
 sys 0m2.320s

 ==> time sftp -b batch me@HardyBox
 sftp> put test
 Uploading test to /home/me/test

 real 0m48.166s
 user 0m9.497s
 sys 0m13.497s

 That's over my 100baseT half duplex LAN, one end Jaunty one end Hardy.
