[Bug 250517] Re: gvfs performs slowly on bulk sftp transfers

[martinr]

I also ran into the same problem on LUbuntu 10.04, which increases big file 
transfers times with hours.

Could it be that sftp from Nautilus selects a different cipher for its encryption?
Presumably des (the default protocol 1 cipher), judging from the speed drop
compared to plain sftp?

Title:
  gvfs performs slowly on bulk sftp transfers

Status in The "G" Library - GLib:
  Confirmed
Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Tested on a low-latency 100Mb fibre link. scp/sftp console clients are able to hit the line speed of around 10MB/s. Copying via Nautilus is almost 10 times slower, at about 1.6MB/s.
  This seems to be because it does not batch up writes, but waits for a reply for each.
