What are you transferring: a single large file? a few large files? lots of small files? a mixture of both? Since you said "a file copy", I could assume you're just talking about one file, but lets make sure. What's the file's size?
Also, how are you timing your transfers? Just the "time" command for sshfs and the number printed by scp? As a quick sanity check, time taken to copy a 1GB file from one host to another over a Gigabit connection was almost the same (+-2 s) for both sshfs and scp for me. Regardless, available bandwidth is not the only parameter that could potentially affect things.
