scp speed most often is limited by the CPU doing the encoding (or worse:
compression).
You could try something like:
scp -oCiphers=arcfour ....
On a modern computer that's more than 4 times as fast as the default
AES cipher. If you don't trust arcfour, maybe blowfish-cbc is good
enough for you and still about 3 times as fast.
