Let's reformat your data just a bit:

Protocol      4.5p1 MB/s  5.1p1 MB/s   increase
----------    ----------  ----------   ----------
Std. scp         17.9        19.3          8%
arcfour          22.3        26.3         18%
blowfish         17.1        18.6          9%
scp -C           14.1        16.3         16%

I'd say the 16% and 18% figures give reasonable credibility to the
"approximately 20% faster" claim.
