To be more specific, I trust you're speaking about SFTP download performance, 
right? I recall someone mentioning that it does upload a lot faster.

I don't know of any detailed or close analyzis done on this issue. There have 
been speculations on the SSH windowing code and that SFTP "pipelining" (kind 
of) are keys to it, but I don't think we have any hard facts to back those up.

The resources we need are: time spent on this by clueful persons. These 
persons could then test performance, note details, analyze network packets, 
read code, read SSH/SFTP specs and see what libssh2 does wrong at this point 
and how to fix these issues.

Estimating what time it'll take depends a lot on the specific persons, and 
since no detailed analysis has been done yet it is very tricky to estimate 
the time it'll take to address the issues that it should reveal.

NOTE: these are my personal opinions and estimates. I don't write on the 
behalf of anyone else.
