Well, ignoring your math for the moment, ftp will almost always be faster
since it doesn't need to continuously encrypt the data stream. Compressing
the data stream adds even more overhead, which will slow you down even
further, especially by comparison to an unencrypted, uncompressed protocol
on a fast link.
