Some benchmarks copying a gigabyte (1024**3 bytes) file, no
compression, over a LAN:
- scp (3des) no tunnel - 01:34
- scp (blowfish) over tunnel (blowfish), 02:23
- scp (blowfish) over tunnel (3des), 02:31
- scp (3des) over tunnel (blowfish), 02:36
- scp (3des) over tunnel (3des), 03:26

And surprise, sftp has the worst performance! 
- sftp (3des) - 03:37

I tried the 'fish' (Files over SSH) mode of lftp, which is supposed to
be the same as sftp, but the same file was estimated to take over 2
hours!
