Are you using Net::SFTP?? I hit the same wall roughly a year ago and assumed it was because of the heavy math/floating point nature of the protocol, aka with the standard client being in C it is much faster for such processing. This isn't much of a satisfactory answer, except that I can tell you that I experienced the same phenomenon. Eventually we decided to do all of our file detection, etc. using the Perl version, but when it came time to do a transfer we opted for rsync + ssh.
